The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 103:2,
"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits..."
"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits..."
So, just what are the Lord's benefits?
He forgives, verse 3.
He heals, verse 3.
He redeems, verse 4.
He crowns with love and compassion, verse 4.
He satisfies with good things, verse 5.
He renews youth, verse 5.
He provides righteousness and justice for the oppressed, verse 6.
He is compassionate, verse 8.
He is gracious, verse 8.
He is slow to anger, verse 8.
He abounds with love, verse 8.
And... the list goes on from there! How many benefits of the Lord can you find in this psalm? Given such a bountiful array of benefits, no wonder we find David here praising the Lord!
