I have a word for you this morning. “Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life my lips shall praise Thee.” [Psalm 63:3.] “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing had happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” [1 Peter 4:12, 13.] Let us be thankful and praise the Lord. Let your heart receive the rich current of His love. As Jesus prayed for His disciples on the earth that they might be kept from evil, be sanctified through the truth, and be with Him where He is in the Father’s house, so He prays for us. He lives to make intercession for us. He alone can give us [a] supply of His Spirit.

“He only is my Rock and my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the Rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.” [Psalm 62:5-8.] “Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus shall I bless thee while I live, I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings shall I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee; thy right hand upholdeth me.” [Psalm 63:3-8.]
