Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits
Psalms 103:2 (NIV)
We spend a lot of our time in pursuit of a comfortable life. However, if we are not watchful, the cares of this life (Luke 21:34) may cause us to forget important blessings from God.
Turn to Psalm 103:3-5, and praise will flow from your heart naturally when you appreciate what God is doing for you, free of charge.
First, God “forgives all your sins” (verse 3). “He does not treat us as our sins deserve” (verse 10). Praise God that we can live guilt-free when we genuinely repent of and confess our sins.
Second, God “heals all your diseases.” (verse 3). We all want to live disease-free. How many times has God nursed you out of your sickbed? Praise the Great Physician.
Third, God “redeems your life from destruction” (verse 4). You have survived accidents, natural disasters, and bodily and spiritual attacks. Were it not for His mercies, you would not be alive today. Praise God.
Fourth, your Heavenly Father “crowns you with love and compassion” (verse 4). You may not see it, but you have a crown of God’s love and mercy on your head. Like a proud father, God looks upon you with pride and satisfaction. You are special to Him.
Finally, God “satisfies your mouth with good things” (verse 5). Yes, the good things of life—delicious food, cool waters, calm skies, beautiful nature, and the company and laughter of fellow human beings—are all implied here.
This satisfaction extends to spiritual matters as well. It is not a wonder that youth is renewed like that of an eagle (verse 5) when you are in the Lord.
Prayer
Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all His benefits
