Day 162.
Psalm 103 is one of the many calls to worship found on the Psalms only the recipient is unique. Most calls address God’s people, the heavenly hosts, the nations, or even creation. But this one addresses the writer’s soul. He is calling himself to worship. It is his spiritual discipline. We need this in our lives too. We are prone to forget. Worship reminds us.
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. (Psalm 103:1-5)
I had to include the following verse too!
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:11-12)
