“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 forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6. The LORD executeth righteousness and judgement for all that are oppressed. 7. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”
Do you ever feel like all you can ever do is fail? No matter how hard you try, there are still circumstances that end in defeat! Psalm 1:2-3 is such a powerful verse, if we would just put it in motion; “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” So the Bible tells us that we need to read the Word, day and night, and we shall be planted like a tree! There are many days as Christians that we need to read Psalm 103. It gives us so much light and so much hope through all of our failures and struggles of life. David is the writer of this Psalm. Remember that David was not just an adulterer, but also a murderer, and yet God still loved him and forgave him. Don’t let sin get you down! The Bible says in verse 3 “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” Its amazing that there is not one sin that God would refuse to forgive you of. Again, He says, “Who forgiveth all…” You may be a very faithful Christian, but still feel like you constantly fail the Lord. Are you reading your Bible everyday? Are you believing every word? There are 8 more verses in Psalm 103. We encourage you to open your Bible, slow down, and let God speak to your heart in this very powerful Psalm. God is faithful! Its this kind of Psalm that gives you new hope for your day and a sweeter fellowship with Him! Psalm 103:2-5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
