Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
(Psalm 63:3-5, NASB)
God loves you so very much. Do you really know this? He loves you so much He sent His Son—a part of Himself—to pay the penalty for your sins. He loves you so much He wants you with Him for eternity.
If you know this—really know this—what are you doing to thank Him? What are you doing to show your love for Him?
I love the psalms for their words of praise. I especially love the words of today’s psalms.
God’s love is better than life. His kindness to me, His grace and mercy, His protection and provision—they all remind me of His love for me.
I can’t begin to love Him as He loves me. But I can, in some small way, show Him how grateful I am for Him. I can give Him even a fraction of the love He has for me.
With my praises. I can determine to praise Him every day. I can bless His name and strive to glorify Him in my words, thoughts, and actions. I can sing songs of praise, lifting my hands to Him and my eyes to the heavens.
I can joyfully and gratefully praise Him for His mercy, His grace, and His abundant love.
