The wife of a Christian man who was ill, took to his bedside a plate of hot soup. As he took it, he exclaimed, out of the fullness of a grateful heart: “My praises do not keep pace with my mercies!”
He was in the habit of tracing God’s hand in all the circumstances of his life, and felt that he had never praised Him enough for His care.
Dear young Christian, can we not all say the same? Do we not find that our praises lag behind? Yet the Lord even “daily loadeth us with benefits.” (Psa. 68:19).
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
