Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You. -Psa 63:3
The above verse is a Psalm of King David which was used during his time spent in the deserts of Judah – namely, the period of time when he fled into the desert due to the rebellion of his son Absolam. Even with the pain in his heart, King David says that the love of GOD to him is more important and precious than his own life
Why? How can he still praise God when everything had seemingly fallen out of place, and his very life in danger from his own son? Because he loves GOD and is thankful to GOD. This makes King David praise GOD in trouble time too. Can we follow him?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of King David that reminds me day by day that You are a covenant-keeping God whose never-failing loving-kindness is greater than life itself. In the name of Jesus, Amen
