David never dreamt of becoming King in Israel. He was just a teenager caring for the flocks of his father's sheep. He was the last in the family but the most responsible and godly. His closeness with God soon attracted divine favour which positioned him for consideration as future king.
His courage at the battle field against Goliath the Philistinian giant greatly exposed him to envie by king Saul. He did everything to eliminate David. David was a guest to unfavourable conditions in the wilderness but God preserved him and divinely protected him.
It was his experience of God's loving kindness that made him to exclaim in Psalm 63 vs 3 that the loving kindness of God is better than life.
Do you know that life is meaningless without the loving kindness of God? When God show you His loving favour, that is a manifestation of His loving kindness.
Think of those terrible situations where God has divinely intervened on your behalf. It is a reflection of His loving Kindness. Deliverance from the hands of the wicked is His loving kindness. Why can't you provoke your lips to praise God for His loving kindness in the past and the ones He will still do in the present and future.
P.S.: Text Ps. 63
