Mouth-Full

Surely, one of the first things we learned at the table as children was don’t talk with your mouthful.  Nowadays, however, it’s not a problem: chewing and talking at the same time isn’t an option!

Psalm 118:1 says, “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”  Wow, what a mouthful!  Consider what the psalmist said in this short verse: the LORD is good, steadfast, loving, enduring, and eternal.  Nothing else can be referred to with such amazing descriptors!  Mr. Bill and I are planning a trip and carefully reading travel reviews.  Well, the Bible is loaded with reliable and sustainable reviews on God’s character.  The greatest testimony we give the world about God’s greatness and faithfulness is living a life of gratitude.  Of course, no one wants to see our food but it’s perfectly okay and acceptable that our “lips will pour forth praise” (Psalm 119:171) that God is good-steadfast-loving-enduring-eternal.  Keep your mouth full!
