What Shall I Render Unto the Lord?

What Shall I Render Unto The Lord?

      “What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?” Psalm 116: 12 (KJV). How can I ever repay the Lord for his great love and kindness which he shows toward me? I can't! There is no way that I could ever come close to repaying God for all his benefits. What, then, shall I do, seeing how much I owe God? “I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Psalm 116: 13-15 (KJV)

      As the psalmist said: I will gladly, and with much thankfulness receive the gift of salvation which God has given to me, and I will gladly be his servant, and allow him to use me and to continue his work through me, which he has begun, until he comes again and restores all things.

      God loves us, and wants not our destruction, or for us to be incapacitated, but he desires that we should live for him and bear much fruit for his glory. As a token of our gratitude then, to God for all his benefits, let us continually offer him the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord, and render our service to him with joyfulness and praise.
