Psalm 103
There is a song that we sing at church sometimes by a guy called Matt Redman that this Psalm reminds me of., the song is called 10 000 reasons.
The Psalm starts Praise the LORD, my soul, all my inmost being praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, my soul and forget not all his benefits,
What are the benefits of being a fried of God?
There are some -
Forgiveness of sins,
The Psalm says heals all your diseases - this one I have a bit of an issue with.
There are many men and women of faith, good friends of God, who suffer disease and infirmity
Jesus himself suffered terribly during his arrest, trial and summary execution - and Jesus was not only a friend of god but, Christians believe his son.
God also redeemed my life from permanent abode in the pit.
God crowns with love and compassion and satisfies with good things.
When I think about this - sometimes I get to wondering - I would like to chance to prove that being excessively wealthy would not change me - surely if God satisfies my desires - this is surely not out of the question?
However - I am forced to the conclusion that God gives good things. and possibly I would change if I became spectacularly wealthy overnight!
The Psalm continues that God works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
God made his ways known to Moses and his deeds freed the people of Israel from slavery.
The Psalm continues
God is like a father and has compassion on his children and on those who fear (respect) him.
He knows that mortal life is fleeting, but from everlasting to everlasting is the love of Gid.
The end of the Psalm is an exaltation to the Angels in heaven.
Praise the LORD you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Praise the LORD all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Praise the LORD all his works, everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the LORD, my soul..
