Shalom,

Psalm 103 is a very familiar Psalm to most of us. Today I want to emphasize two sets of instructions that we have been given in this Psalm! Verses 1-5 is first:

1 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits— 3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; 5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]!

We are instructed to BLESS the LORD Who has done all of the wonderful things that follow! And then we have this in verses 20-22:

20 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His word. 21 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, all you His hosts, you His ministers who do His pleasure. 22 Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion; bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul!

Our wonderful GOD is worthy of ALL of our attention, devotion, obedience, praise, thanksgiving and worship! So let's GIVE it to Him! Continually! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Every Breath":

Shalom in Him!
