Day 12~ Psalm 103!
Listen to songs 41-44 Just a sampling not the ONE song I wanted to find but oh well......... You get the idea! Right?
This psalm is a song that I sang when I was a little girl at the Church of the Open Door. I LOVE IT!
Lately all that is within me seems to never be enough......He is Holy and let us never forget His many benefits. I don't know what I would do with out forgiveness! Healing and redemption! Hallelujah!
I have been redeemed out of the hand of the devil. He was destroying all that God had set aside for me to be and the enemy was robing me BUT my God has redeemed back His child. I am no longer insecure, depressed, I no longer view myself as unattractive and stupid! God has done a mighty work.
He truly executed righteousness and justice for me! I was oppressed and am now free to be who God called me to be and can I say I am amazed! Not in what I am but in what He has done! I am a living testimony! Thank you Jesus!
This section reminds me of what I want to be to my children. Please Lord do this in me for their sake and Yours!
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
I am often reminded of this when I am upset with my kids and my nature is to hold a grudge because I am taxed by the behavior. Today I was taxed.
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father pities his children,
So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
14 For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
And its place remembers it no more."
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
19 The LORD has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who do His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.
21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,
You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all His works,
In all places of His dominion.
Bless the LORD, O my soul!
I think I may do a verse by verse study on this psalm......so powerful I do not want to just mention it and move on to another chapter.
