1 Minute Devotional (Tuesday March 11, 2014) The devotional today is from Sunday’s message “It’s More Than Words – Giving Thanks to God” (Psalm 116:12). Text: What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? Psalm 116:12 How can I repay the LORD for all the good He has done for me? Psalm 116:12 (HCSB) The psalmist, in a time when his heart sang in praise in an awareness of God’s gracious gifts, asked himself, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?” (Ps. 116:12). He answered with three responses: His first response was, “I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.” Psalm 116:13 This is the first step. The greatest gift of God to humanity is the gift of his Son. “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). We cannot sincerely say, “God, we thank you for sending your Son to die for our sins,” and not accept that Son as our own Savior. To reject God’s Son and his claims on our life is to say, “So far as I am concerned, he might as well not have come to the earth.” The first response of gratitude is to “take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.” What a blessed promise is the declaration, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13).
