Psalm 106:1 “Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Of all the blessings you or I have received, the greatest, by far, is God’s love. Without that love nothing else has value–not our assets–not our education–not our beautiful country–not our friendships–nothing. It is only because of the love of our God that we are able to enjoy this life on earth and look forward to an eternity of pleasure and luxury beyond our imagination. Why would anyone pass on all the amazing benefits of His goodness and love?

Psalm 105:4 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” Our Psalmist loves to praise God. He writes with the intent of expressing how he feels and how he believes all believers should feel. How can you and I do otherwise? Life on earth is certainly, at times, difficult and sad for each of us, yet none of us would ever want to live life without our loving Heavenly Father. Even in sadness we praise our Lord and Savior.

Psalm 104:34 “May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord.” We should be serving our God and pleasing Him somewhere around 35-45 % of our lives because none of us is perfect. That’s the way some think and live. The problem is: 35-45 % turns into 100%. If we don’t have on our minds and in our hearts to be humble, faithful children of our Heavenly Father every second of our lives we fail. We thank God for our Savior/Redeemer. Meditate–Rejoice constantly.

Psalm 194:33 “I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” Our Psalmist obviously knows where his blessings come from and it is only because of the love of his God that he receives them and will someday inherit eternal life in Heaven. How could any of us not have a joyful heart knowing that wonderful truth?

Psalm 104:24 “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you make them all; the earth is full of your creatures.” Our Psalmist continually expresses the wonders of God. Man receives the benefits of God’s creation. Although the earth is full of tangible gifts from God, the greatest gift from Him is the intangible gift of love. The same is true in regard to each other. Our example couldn’t be clearer–the greatest gift of all is the gift of love. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 104:1 “Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.” Many people do not worship God because He is greater than their imaginations can handle. His magnificence far surpasses their understanding. The fact is: God is greater than our imaginations can handle and His magnificence does far surpass our understanding. These two facts don’t mean He doesn’t exist; rather they mean He is far beyond our understanding as to His splendor. We, therefore, can do nothing other than praise and honor Him.

Psalm 103:17 “But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—-” Though life on earth for all of us is short compared to time before we were born and short compared to eternity, the love of our God is not bound by time. His love never fails and lasts forever. As faithful followers it is impossible to be more blessed. The same love God had for Noah, Abraham, David, Paul–He has for you and me. Think about that–your name is written in the Book of Life!

Psalm 103:15-16 “The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like the flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.” You probably remember your grandfather, but how about your great grandfather and no one remembers their great great grandfather. Why this thought? God’s wisdom teaches: flourish, excel, enjoy life on this earth but always keep in mind–heaven is your home–so live accordingly.

Psalm 1003:13 “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;” Only a parent who loses a child understands the sadness that loss produces for the life of a parent. A loving bond has been dissolved. A natural love is taken away. God has that unique love for each of us, His children. Those who have a loving relationship with the only true God rest in His arms and enjoy a love relationship which is indescribable and beyond measure.

Psalm 103:12 “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” For us to inherit eternal life and have a relationship with our Heavenly Father you and I must be perfect. Our Savior has miraculously accomplished that. His life, death and resurrection has performed this greatest miracle of all time. Does this give us the freedom to live whatever life we choose? Absolutely not! Rather, because of our Savior and His redemptive work, you and I have a strong faith and a deep desire to honor Him through every motion we take and every thought we think. We pray for His constant help. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 103:11 “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.” When we think of the magnificence of God and His ability to do whatever he chooses and then realize He chooses to love, not just put up with, not just like, but to love each of us–His children, we have to be both humbled and be as happy as happy gets. What a wonderful, loving God we praise.

Every Christian can learn how to practice their faith from this passage. Every child of God realizes from this passage the blessed life they live because of the absolute truth of this passage. What a wonderful passage!
