So Glad

Read Psalm 103

Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for 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 has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
    he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
    they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts.

19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his bidding,
    who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
    you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Big Idea: Never stop remembering His goodness and grace.

Do you ever just sit back and think where you would be without Jesus? We sang this song in church on Sunday. As the words came from my mouth, I could envision myself as a young teen… broken, depressed, hurt, and angry from a childhood of pain and disappointment. When the pastor gave the invitation that evening to give my life to Jesus… I ran to the altar with tears running down my face. I didn’t know or understand everything… but I knew I needed Him.

No matter how old you get or how many years you’ve been a believer, never forget the day your life changed. Never lose that wonder in the miracle of your salvation! Let thankfulness and joy overflow from your heart as praise to the King of Kings who sought you in your mess, loved you while you rejected Him, and brought you from death to life.

Join me today in thanking and praising Him for all He was then and all He is today!
