Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Psalms 103-105, but I'll focus on part of Psalm 103: verses 1-5, and 13-14.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. And remember all that He has done for me.
That should be my song every morning, but far too often, it isn't. Just this morning, in fact, my song was anger, and indignation, and whining. There are so many things I don't understand. It seems my wait has been going on for so long. And sometimes that makes me more upset than it should.
I'm still learning. And this psalm today was a good reminder of how I should begin my day: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.
But God is mindful of us. He is a loving Father, who knows that we are only dust, that we are weak. And He is compassionate and merciful to those who reverence Him.
That's how I want to begin every day. By reverencing God. From the first moment I wake up, I want my first thought to be "Bless the Lord, O my soul."
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Psalms 106-107.
