Psalms 103:1-5

Dear Brethren,

What has the Lord done for you? Have you ever given thought to the blessings given by the Lord? Look first at the physical blessings of your life. The Lord is the very reason you have life in your physical body. He is the reason you have a beating heart and a complex mind. He has given you life. Consider also you abilities, your passions, your desires, and even your family: these all exist because of the life given you by God.

What about the spiritual blessings found within Jesus Christ? For Christians, these spiritual blessings abound. Starting with the forgiveness of sins to a life of fellowship with the Father in heaven, these blessings flow through a Christian's life. James wrote, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." (James 1:17) Here is Psalms 103:1-5 presented for your consideration.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

In Love,

John Duvall
