Mouth Full

Surely, one of the first things we learned at the table as children was ... don’t talk with your mouth full.  The older-me has found chewing and talking can be a problem itself. 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!  Mister Bill and I are planning a trip and carefully reading travel reviews.  Well, the Bible is loaded with reliable and sustainable reviews of God’s character.  The greatest testimony we give the world about God’s greatness and His faithfulness is living a life of gratitude.  Of course, no one wants to see our food but it’s perfectly okay and quite acceptable that our “lips will pour forth praise” (Psalm 119:171) that God is good-steadfast-loving-enduring-eternal.  For the sake of God's glory and praise ... keep your mouth full!
