"How kind the LORD is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!" - Ps 116.5

A good example of why I love the NLT, especially in the Psalms. If our own lives aren't saturated with praise in the way that the writers of the Psalms were, then reading this will leave us dry, dead, and lifeless. This kind of expression comes, not from a life free from trouble, but from a life drenched with relationship; with pursuit of our God. This relationship sustains us through the vagaries of live. May my life cry out that our God is kind, good, and merciful!
