Shalom,

Today we read Psalm 103 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! The entire Psalm is a testimony of the GOODNESS of GOD to HIS people! Look at verses 1-5:

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]!

Meditate on just these few verses and you be overflowing with the JOY of the LORD! Now look at verse 7!

7 He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

Everyone can see the results of the ACTS of God! BUT, only those who spend time in intimate fellowship with HIM will come to know HIS WAYS! Thats means that we will get to know Him so well that we will recognize His voice and be aware of His presence while others will take no notice! But there is a CHOICE involved in this and it is NOT GOD'S! HE give US the free will to choose HIM! Or not! Even after being born again, we still must CHOOSE just how much we want to KNOW Him! Here is Hillsong with a favorite older song of mine! "I Surrender":

Shalom in Him!
