Good Morning Sunshine! What Have You Rendered Unto The Lord?

Psalm 116:12-14 NKJ ~ “What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? [13] I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. [14] I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people.”

What does the word rendered mean, it means to give up, to yield, to offer. What are you giving God today? What are you willing to give up? What will you offer God today? 

Have you ever asked yourself a question and then answered that same question? The question that is being asked of you is personal, the question-“What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits?” The answer-is, “I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.” This means that the Lord is going to keep filling your cup and you have to continue bringing Him your cup to fill, you can’t pay the Lord, but you can Thank Him! The Lord’s goodness is inexhaustible and His goodness will be magnified!

You can never ever repay God for what He has done for you! He’s been so merciful and gracious to you. Just think about it, today, you have His breath in you, you woke up and you knew who you are and where you are, the place you laid down on last night was not your cooling board, you were able to get up walk and move, you were able to see, hear and feel, and you have a mouth that you can speak out of. So, have you told the Lord Thank You today, because without Him, you couldn’t do none of the above!

Father I’m grateful, I’m thankful and I’m thanking You, You didn’t have to do it, but You did, so I’m going to live my life for you today! You tell others how blessed you are, and you fail to see the source of your blessings, have you told the Lord, the One that blessed you how grateful you are, this much goodness calls for a response from you! Your Father is the giver of every good and perfect gift. The air that you are breathing right now is a gift from God, your strength and health, it’s a gift too, you owe Him a Thank You, for every day He is giving you new abilities and He just wants your availability to live your life for Him!

And the most important gift that you could ever receive is the gift of your eternal salvation it is all God! It’s only because of His Grace, that you know the meaning of His Salvation, He  paid the ultimate price for your redemption in the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus the Christ! When you think about the Cross you should immediately be thinking about what you can give to the One that gave you life. When conviction enters your heart, conversion follows with change and all you want to do is love on your Father, and not because of what someone said, nor is it about what you can have, it’s just about loving Him because He first loved you!

How can you thank God today for what He has done? What shall you Render? Make a vow unto the Lord in presence of His people, because if you are ashamed of Him now, He will be ashamed of you when you He comes in His Glory and in the Glory of the Father and of the holy angels (Luke 9:26)!

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father I can never repay You for Your blessings, but I can say Thank You! Father, today I will show my gratitude for Your generosity by being generous in my service to You and others today! Father, thank You for all of Your blessings today, I will use them to bring Honor and Glory to Your Name! Father forgive me for all the past times that I did not render myself to Your Will, I repent right now that You may restore me back to my rightful foundation, You! Father, I Thank You and I will sing of Your praises and I will testify to the goodness, generosity and grace of You in my life. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
