Psalm 63

My lips will glorify you
because your faithful love is better
than life.

It is easy to start with the second phrase in this verse – it’s so true. So glorious. God’s faithful love (chesed) is better than life.

Best thing. Bar none. In this world, in my life, for my life: God’s faithful love.

If He is the one faithfully loving, well, I am truly loved, truly cared for, never abandoned, betrayed, in need, lonely – God loves me.

My response?

Too often I keep all His faithful love to myself as if I share it and somehow lose it, or it is diminished.

But David had it right. And I must get this right: My lips shall glorify God.

I will make his faithful love known far and wide.

He is glorious and He loves us.

God almighty, creator, sustainer – our lover.
