blessing the LORD

IMG_0710Psalm 103

This psalm begins and ends with a self-invitation to bless the LORD. 

Why should I bless the LORD?  Here the psalmist lists a few of the benefits of knowing God:

  • his holy name
  • his forgiveness
  • his healing
  • his rescue from death
  • his faithfulness and mercy during life
  • his justice to the oppressed
  • his revelation of his will
  • his remembering that we are dust

Who should bless the LORD?  Those invisible (angels and hosts) and visible (his works = creation).

Where should we bless the LORD?  In all places of his dominion = everywhere.

LORD, we bless you today.  We praise you for who you are, what you have done, and why that matters to us.
