Be Blessed

14 August 2012   

 

Psalms 103:2-105 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 as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

This wonderful Psalm of acclamation of God’s grace is just meant for you today. For you to take this blessing and to make it your own, you are forgiven, your are healed, you have eternal life, you are crowned with love and mercy, good things are yours, and each day you are renewed in strength. The more you make this yours, the more you are able to face the challenges that life brings. We accept this in faith and in faith these work through us transforming us and transfiguring us into the image of God.

For some of us that feel un-forgiven or we are ill, scared of death and the future, who feels unloved and insecure, we need to grab hold of these words and make them part of who we are. For no matter what these are the promise of God to us in faith and although we may not see the end, we know the end exists, just as the Israelites travelled to the Promised Land, they know it was their even though they had never seen it.

Be encouraged today to accept make this your blessing today.

 

David
