Better Than Life!

There is so much we can enjoy in this life. During the time of growing up and setting goals for life, it is often done with some concept of what one considers to be "the good life." To be asked the question, "What is better than life?" may cause one to wonder "what else is there?".

Yesterday we noted David's statement of his earnest pursuit of God in Whom he found true satisfaction for life. Note what David went on to say next.

"(2) So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. (3) BECAUSE YOUR STEADFAST LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE, MY LIPS WILL PRAISE YOU." ( Psalm 63:2-3 ESV)

It can be all too easy to get so caught up in the things of this life that we forget the "better" things. When we have entrusted ourselves to God -- when we love Him and know His great LOVE for us -- it does not matter what may befall us in this life, because we know, with Him, we shall live. HIS LOVE IS LIFE. It instills in us a will to live and to press on with the things we know are pleasing to Him. And it is HIS LOVE that has provided the means for life eternal. To live life in HIS LOVE is to truly enjoy the best things of life.

Have a great day ENJOYING THE MOST BESTEST THINGS OF LIFE WITH GOD!
