Thoughts and feelings of Psalm 103…..
Do I praise the Lord like David does? Through everything that satan throws at me or that God graciously guides me through…..no! Why not? I long not only for me but for so many people to praise the Lord as David does in this particular Psalm.
Do I forget what God have done for me? Yes! Do I believe that He forgives ALL my sins and heals ALL my diseases….not all the time. I am confessing to God, you, and myself…..I NEED to read this Psalm daily – to remind myself of who God truly is to me and to you. To not lose hope when people and myself seem hopeless.
Reading this Psalm also takes the blinders off…..I place my happiness and joy too many times in the people and things of this world. It is obvious that God deserves ALL the praise and glory for ALL that HE does through people and things to provide and love me.
This made me cry….VS. 14-18 For He understands how weak we are; He knows we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone- as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. But the love of the Lord remains forever thos who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!
How true these verses ring in my ears and tear at my heart. I am only dust that Christ loves. I need to like for today and not worry about tomorrow’s troubles. Worrying is never the answer to issues of life. Trusting God to provide and love…allowing HIM TO BE GOD…..what a thought…..allowing HIM to be remembered for ever..not me. It is only because God loves me that I am here every day.
God has definitely taken my priorities and desires of life and shaken them up a bit. But what a wonderful thing it is to be able to trust God with my life….
I ask and pray that you read the psalm written below and that it moves you…..
