Just Because

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

Because.  How many times did you hear this as a kid?  I know I heard it a few times.  There are those times when you have questions that no one can seem to answer and you hear the simple reply “Because”.  Well, that’s how this verse starts out.  I love it!  We tend to ask a lot of questions in life that really don’t have answers.  We want to know why someone is sick, why someone lost their job, why something bad happened, and many times the questions have no answers.  This verse supplies an answer that is more than good enough for me for any question I may have in life.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. (Psalm 145:3)

Thanksgiving is not something that should happen in just November for Christians.  When we read a verse like the one above we should realize that thanksgiving should take place in our hearts daily.  God’s greatness is too much for us to fathom.  He has done so many wonderful things in our lives and our hearts should wake up each morning ready to offer thanksgiving to Him.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4)

This verse puts it so clearly.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving.  God calls us to be people who proclaim the glory of His name in everything that we do and say.  Do people know you are thankful for your job?  There are plenty of people out of work right now, so complaining won’t get you very far.  Do people know that you are thankful for your spouse?  Your commitment in marriage is a witness to those around you.  Do people know that you are thankful for your salvation?  You can’t convince anyone that Jesus is good for them, if you don’t show them the joy you have inside of you.
