Psalm 103:1-12
Psalm 103 calls me to make time to list the amazing qualities of who God is and all that God has done. Then I should consider all of this carefully. As a result, I should choose to praise God with all I’ve got! In God, I have found new life, forgiveness, healing, redemption, and peace. In Psalm 103, David sings with his whole heart a thanksgiving to the Lord for bringing him from being sinful, ashamed, sick, dissatisfied, doomed, and decaying to becoming forgiven, crowned, healed, satisfied, redeemed, and renewed. Repeatedly we see God described as “compassionate, merciful, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing love.” This is a result of people observing God’s behavior. It is also true to the way in which God described Himself.
