Psalms 113:6. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
It enables us to get some faint idea of the greatness of God when we read that he has to humble himself even to look at the things in heaven, perfect and spotless though they be. Dr. Watts truly sings, -
"The lowest step around thy seat
Rises too high for Gabriel’s feet;
In vain the tall archangel tries
To reach thine height with wond’ring eyes."
All the faculties of all the angels cannot comprehend the Infinite. When the Lord looks down to us, how much he must humble himself! If he humbleth himself to see the things in heaven which are clear and pure, what humility is required that he may look upon the things on the earth!
