As Long As I Live

As Long As I Live

"Because Your lovingkindess is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul  is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth offers praises with joyful lips." Psalm 63:3-5
 
I was reading those verses this afternoon in the car, I was struck once again with "as long as I live".  No circumstances attached.  Just praise Him.  WHY?  Because "His lovingkindness is better than life".  Hmmm...so when the sun is hot when your working outside and there's no breeze, praise Him.  When you burn your bread because you accidentally didn't hear the timer (yeah, that bread you spent all day baking) praise Him.  hen you the ride in the car for 8 hours on end with little room to move...yeah, it's still a good idea to praise Him!  As long as we live, with each breath we take we should be praising God for all He is because just knowing that He loves us should fill us with a wellspring of unquenchable joy. 
 
Just a side note:  Did you notice that in the last part of the verse it says "with my mouth"?  Not only do we need to be thinking it but to be declaring it!  There is great power in our words.  We can either use them to build up or tear down.  Our words also come from our hearts and if our words are declaring the praises of God then our attitudes will be as well. 
 
As my cousin and I were watching Facing The Giants today they said, " Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart." Is your aroma pleasent?  I know mine is not always but I must remind myself, no matter what is going on, I should be blessing God just because of His great love for me.  I should take my eyes off of myself and think about Him for awhile, wouldn't you agree?  I will leave you with this last thought--- "Whatever season of life, attitude makes the biggest difference." ~Unknown
 
" I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Psalm 34:1 
 
Do a Scripture search on praise verses and you will be amazed at what you find.
 
May we all press on together and encourage one another to bless our Creator with every breath we take.
Because of Grace,
Maiden Princess
