How do we know that God's lovingkindness is better than life?

Answered in 1 source

God's lovingkindness is seen as better than life through the fulfillment and satisfaction it brings to the believer's soul.

The statement 'thy lovingkindness is better than life' reflects the profound realization of a believer regarding the nature of God’s love. In Psalm 63:3, David articulates that the lovingkindness of the Lord, characterized by loyalty, grace, and mercy, surpasses all earthly pleasures and even the value of life itself. This acknowledgment indicates that true satisfaction and fulfillment come not from temporal or material gains but from a deep relationship with God.

As believers, we experience His lovingkindness through His unwavering support, grace amidst struggles, and the redemption found in Christ. This divine love drives away the despair and emptiness that can characterize life without Him. Therefore, recognizing God's lovingkindness as better than life leads us to prioritize our relationship with Him above all else, ultimately guiding us toward a life marked by peace, joy, and purpose. Such a worldview empowers believers to withstand trials and tribulations with a heart full of gratitude and reliance upon God's faithfulness.
