How can i repay

“What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116:12)

Just when the complaint is about to leave our mouth, we are so quickly reminded of the goodness of the Lord. The murmur turns into praise and gratitude.

Just when we think we cannot go on another minute, let alone another day, our tears turn into joy and praise.

When we think the night lasts for an eternity, soon the sun comes out and a new day begins. That’s the kind of God we serve.

“‘What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?’ Suppose, dear friend, you had been the woman bowed with an infirmity for so many years, and Christ had loosed you, and you had stood upright to-night; what would you render? Suppose you had been poor blind Bartimeus sitting by the wayside begging, born blind, and you had your sight given you to-night; what would you render? But you have had such a gift bestowed on you. You were in spiritual blindness, worse than that which is only natural, and Christ has opened your eyes; what will you render? Suppose you had been Lazarus, and had been in the grave so long that you began to be corrupt, and Christ had raised you to life, what would you render? Well, you have been quickened when you were dead in sin. You were corrupt; you were buried in darkness and in sin; but you can say with the psalmist, ‘O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave.’ Now, what will you render to him?” 

Dear Lord, bless us to “consecrate part of our substance to you, Oh God, tomorrow and the next day, and the next. While we are at work, whether if we drive a bus, or use a hammer, or stand at a counter, or in the fields, or in the streets, we will ask that our thoughts be on YOU, that we may be kept from sin,” and that, by our example and the word of our testimony others might come to know you. Use us Lord!
