Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips (Psalms 63:3-5)

What could be better than life itself? The loving kindness of the Lord. Surely He is good. His mercies are more than the stars of the heavens. His patience with His children extends far beyond our failures. His love cannot be measured – it is infinite.

And what does He ask of us? Not much. Our praise. Hands open and lifted high.

Let this be our continuous thought – that we will be fully surrendered to Him. Let this be our constant desire – that we will testify of His loving-kindness. Let this be the pattern of our lives – thankfulness to Him in every situation. Let this be always on our lips – praise and glory and honor to the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the Savior of our souls.
