BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL.
(Scripture) :- Psalm 103:1-5, KJV. "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 forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."
(The Word) :- Good morning Beloved of God. Hope you had a blessed night rest?
The fallen human nature doesn't know how to keep records of right but perfectly keeps record of wrongs. You do something good, almost nobody realises, but make a mistake, they are all there to castigate and make you realise it. In view of this, there's every probability to just flow and enjoy the good moments God gives but when the challenges come, we turn back at God and it feels like He has never done anything good.
There's the saying that "one who thinks deeply will know how to be grateful". We shouldn't wait to be cajoled before we realise that we actually owe God thanksgiving.
The psalmist, in our anchor scripture, speaks to himself to bless the Lord and not forget the good times. This is something we should all do. When the rocky times come, we should remember all the good things God has done. He then goes ahead to list some of them: forgiveness, divine health, redemption, love and mercy, divine provision, and divine strength.
If it's for these reasons alone, we should learn to thank God. There are people out there who don't have houses, food, clothes or sound health. We live in big houses, eat what we want (maybe not just what we have), complain of what to wear, and are not in the hospital; yet, because, something doesn't go our way, we think God is a wicked God. We forget that we didn't even ask for His leading before embarking on it.
Lord have mercy!
Let's learn to be more grateful, even for the things we regard as little or insignificant. No matter the situation, there are worse situations out there. Remember, one who appreciates for today will receive another tomorrow. #SELAH
