"Beneficial Renderings" 

Psalm 116:12 "What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me?"

We should all answer this question. I know it has convicted me today. As for David, he shares some of his benefits before this verse and what he will render after this verse. He speaks of God's grace, compassion, preservation, rescue, comfort, and strength to name a few. I know these in my life also. As for His response, he says he will do the following.

Call on the Lord's name
Lift up the cup of salvation
Pay his vows to the Lord
Be the Lord's servant
Offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
Praise the Lord

Consider your benefits today and plan a response. If you are having a hard time with words, use David's. After all, he was after God's own heart, and shouldn't we be? Of course. Praise the Lord! (That one was easy, now on to the rest of the list.)

In His Service,
