GOD’S LOVINGKINDNESS
"Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name." (Psalm 63:3, 4).
The word “lovingkindness” is two English words joined together “LOVING” and “KINDNESS.” We know that "God is love" (1 John 4:8). This means He is Affectionate, Caring, Passionate, and Tender hearted. He loves us beyond reasonable doubt and beyond our imaginations.
God proved His love and care for us when He gave up His only begotten son “JESUS CHRIST”.
God is kind. In order word, He is merciful, compassionate, kind-heartedness, benevolent: thus He continually show us kindness, hence we are not consumed in spite of our short comings. Therefore God’s lovingkindness toward us is a prove of His divine perfections.
Why is God’s lovingkindness better than life?" Because God is life in Himself and all life comes from Him. Life is material and nothing that is material can compare to God’s lovingkindness.
Therefore life fades like the grass, which is here one season and gone the next. Yet God’s lovingkindness will endure forever hence it is better than life.
The Lord’s lovingkindness is something of great value, it is more precious than refined gold, it is treasurable, and should be held in high esteem and cherished.
Then we will be motivated to humble ourselves before His awesomeness and praise Him.
God is the God of power, of glory, and a very present help in times of trouble. Thus we need to thirst for Him, long for Him, desire more of Him and trust in His ability to help us in all circumstances and situations.
