What is better than life?

BETTER THAN LIFE

Because your love is better than life,my lips will glorify you. 
Psalms 63:3 (NIV)

Think of this verse as truth more than just an ideal. The truth is: God's love is better than life. Whether you feel like that or not, it is true. God's love is better than life.

Truth is what we use to correctly understand reality. In & Out Burgers is pretty popular. They also have a "secret" menu that includes animal fries and burgers and even a mustard grilled patty. They're not on the "menu" but they really are available. If you know the truth you can enjoy the whole menu.

God's love is the totality of completeness and fulfillment given to us through Christ Jesus. We begin to experience God's love in part now and will know it wholly for eternity. Knowing God is to know his love.

To the world, people who don't know God, the truth of God is like a secret. We have the Bible to tell us he truth about God, his Sovereignty and unfailing love, his justice and mercy and his forgiveness and faithfulness. By faith we take hold of the truth that God's love is better than life and praise him foe his loving kindness.

Father, help us to live in this truth that your love is better than life. Praise be to you in us today!

POUR OUT YOUR SPIRIT...

"O God, you are my God,
     earnestly I seek you;
 my soul thirsts for you, 
     my body longs for you,
 in a dry and weary land 
     where there is no water."
 Psalm 63:1

Father, you are God and we seek you. Pour out your Spirit upon us and upon our land. The land has become dry and our so called leaders forget you. 

Reveal yourself and your greatness to your people. Bless us as we seek you in this dark and evil world. Protect us from those who deny you and yet blame you. 

Fulfill our desires with good things. Satisfy our thirst and revive us in you. 

Praise be to you in us today!
