Psalm 103:1-5
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 iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Life threw a semi curve-ball last week, and the struggle has been real to see it as a good thing. My prayer for today is to not forget the incredible mercies of the Lord. He forgives our sins, heals our infirmities, comforts us in our sorrows, sanctifies us, and loves us with unending and limitless mercy and grace. My prayer is to find complete satisfaction in Him, the Giver -- and source -- of all good things! As I recently read in James, every good and perfect give is from above -- "perfect" not meaning "fabulous" or "fun"; "perfect" meaning that regardless of what is happening, it is bringing us to perfection in Christ, that we may be presented mature and complete!
Give Me Jesus
Take the
world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys
are but a name;
But His love
abideth ever,
Through
eternal years the same.
Refrain:
Oh, the
height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the
length and breadth of love!
Oh, the
fullness of redemption,
Pledge of
endless life above!
Take the
world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest
comfort of my soul;
With my
Savior watching o’er me,
I can sing
though billows roll.
Take the
world, but give me Jesus;
In His cross
my trust shall be,
Till, with
clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face
my Lord I see.
