Do you ever talk to yourself about where your soul is with God?
Do you bless the Lord and his Holy name?
Do you remember the benefits he gives you?
This Psalm is an expression of thanksgiving and praise to the Lord for the benefits and blessings he gives to us. He gives us benefits to those who keep his commandments and promises and who maintain a faithful relationship with him. WE need to boast about our God to the world and the great things He does for us.
We must not forget God’s goodness to us or fail to thank him for the blessings. God generously gives us blessings through the Holy Spirit. When we acknowledge God and everything He does for us this helps us to stay humble before God and puts God in His rightful place. A place of honor, glory, and that we need Him.
David is stirring within himself to the duty of praises to God. It is the Lord that is to be blessed not us. Our soul is to be employed in blessing God and all that is within us. How do we do this though? When we are given a compliment give it back to God. Acknowledge that it could not have happened without God.
He is telling his soul to consider all that God has done for him. Have you taken time to ponder on all the things God has done for you? The little things, the big things, and all the in-between things? God forgives. He forgives every time we sin and we ask for His forgiveness. God saves us. He protects us. He crowns us with His lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Oh!!! How we should bless the Lord. Our soul should be focused on him for all he does for us.
Where is your soul at?
Dear Heavenly Father,
We have so much to be thankful for. I pray that our soul will be intuned to you and bless you. I pray that we will always remember how good you are.
In Jesus Name
Amen
