Psalm 71:14-15 But I will hope continually, and wil yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
My response to the Lord’s never-ending love and daily mercies is to hope continually and praise Him more and more. And, while living a life with hope and praise always in my heart and on my lips, I will tell everyone what He has done. My very demeanor, my words and actions, show forth His righteousness and salvation every day as long as I live.
Just as I never lose hope, so I will never stop the praise that is a constant attitude of my heart and life. Hope and praise is the way in which faith in the Gospel acknowledges, believes,, receives, and enjoys the Life that God gives on account of Christ. In a life of praise, the heart is always poised toward God and ready at any time to express praise to God. In this way the heart is light, free, and happy. Praise confirms the hope and produces more and more praise, and the cycle continues.
