Better


God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries.

It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.

Every word you give me is a miracle word— how could I help but obey? Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning. Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything. Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you. Steady my steps with your Word of promise so nothing malign gets the better of me. Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women so I can live life your way. Smile on me, your servant; teach me the right way to live.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.


Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!

A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

Psalm 19:10 Psalm 37:16 Psalm 119:129 Psalm 118:8 Psalm 63:3 Psalm 84:10

The difficulties of life are to make us better – not bitter.
