Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
Psalm 63:3, 5
It is understandable that life has been, is, and will be full of problems and trials. But I submit to you that the love and mercy of God is a far better thing to have than life. We have to remember that the mercy of the Lord endures FOREVER.
We ought to PRAISE JESUS for our salvation that was bought with His blood. Our salvation is something we build our hopes on; hope in all things that are ETERNAL. Jesus, in the Gospel of Matthew, tells us that He is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father except by Him.
I pray you be encouraged my friend. Don’t let conflicts, trials, and tribulations stop you from praising the Most High. It is His salvation that allows your soul to be satisfied and full as does a full-course meal to your stomach.
Prayer: Lord, may we look to You and only You for the wisdom and strength to make it through the storms our problems often bring. In Christ’s name, Amen.
