Two powerful truths to embrace and practice every day!

David knew two powerful truths! The first one was that God is a Good God who provides for every area of our lives. Number two is that He knew the importance of never forgetting the goodness of God. He would command his soul to “bless the Lord”. He would make sure that he “blessed” the Lord with everything within him. He knew that God had granted him many benefits. He knew that God is a forgiving God Who forgives all our iniquities. He knew that God heals all our diseases. Because of that, he said this: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.” Psalm 103:1-3.

We now have the same opportunity to bless the Lord every day for His goodness in the land of the living. Never forget: He is worthy of our gratitude and praise. He is good, all the time!

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

When the phrase “bless” the Lord is used in Psalms 103, it is used to praise, glorify and speak well of Almighty God. It is not only right to bless and praise Him every day. It is also necessary for us to do so, because in praising and worshiping Him, we are remembering His goodness, His kindness, His blessings and benefits that He bestows on us every day. David “blessed” the Lord every day. He would even remind His soul to bless the Lord and not forget all His benefits (Psalms 103). He had developed a discipline of blessing the Lord every single day. Whatever we focus and speak about every day, stays close to our heart. This is a powerful principle. God told Joshua to meditate on His word every day so that he could prosper in all that God had given him to do.  The Lord Jesus told us to pray the “Our Father” every day. It’s time to ensure that part of our daily disciplines include “Blessing” the Lord every day. He has to be number one in our lives. This way, we will never forget what and who is really important in our lives.

Psalms 103: 1-2 “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits”
