My dear Mother who’s with the Lord now, had this Psalm marked in her Bible. I can still see her sitting on her couch for hours reading God’s word. Her face was often filled with joy and her cheeks moist with tears. She loved spending time with the Lord…..her favorite activity on this earth. My prayer is that our family would follow in her footsteps and relish time with the Lord as she did. This morning as I read this psalm it filled my heart with thanksgiving, and reminded me of my dear mom. Today is her Birthday and becauase of God’s mercy and grace…because of his sacrifice, she is celebrating in heaven. Our God is a good God. Praise His name forever!
Psalm 103 (NKJ)
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.
