33 Psalm 166:12 What Can I Do?

JMD Devotional 33 Psalm 166:12 What Can I Do?

What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me? [How can I repay Him for all His bountiful dealings?]

Might I suggest this list of ‘gifts’:
A cheerful countenance
A winsome spirit
To cooperate with His plan of redemption, to take the ‘cup of salvation’
To walk in the truth
To give our life focus, adoration, love and commitment.

3 John 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my [spiritual] children are living their lives in the Truth.

Dear God,
Why am I so reluctant to give you what you want from a perfect heart? Your ‘demands’ are ultimately for my benefit and the best things for me; but I am still functioning as a spoiled child. Please forgive me, and implant the wisdom and faith for me to not withhold a positive and holy attitude from You. May my countenance reflect your radiant goodness, and may it be a witness without reserve.
Amen
