Forget NOT - His Blessings, His Grace!


Psalm 103: 2-4
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits
3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.

      Often, we need to remind ourselves about the goodness of our God, which has led us thus far. That's Why the Psalmist speaks to his own soul, and reminds it to praise the LORD and not to forget all the Good things HE has done. What are the wonderful things that God has done for us? We were sinners condemned, and destined to hell, but God has graciously redeemed us with the precious blood of HIS SON, so that we can rejoice in Heaven with HIM for eternity. There are innumerable diseases out there and many medical conditions for which neither the cause nor the remedy has been found, even though we claim that we have made tremendous medical advancements. Praise God that HE has kept us protected, from all those problems and diseases! Even if we do suffer now from certain disease or pain, do not be discouraged, for HE is our HEALER. Verse 4 says that HE is our Redeemer. In this world which is prone to destructive hazards, God is standing right beside us, to protect and safeguard us from all mishaps. And finally God crowns us with HIS LOVE and surrounds us with HIS unlimited mercies and grace, to honor and bless us every single day! What more do we need? He gave us forgiveness so that we can enjoy eternity with HIM, He gives us protection and health, He safeguards us and provides for all our needs. If we have Jesus, we have everything - a Healer, a Redeemer, a Savior, a Friend, a Father, a caretaker, a well-wisher and a God – who is simply in love with us! Let us remember everything, which we’ve received through grace and praise HIM today; for HE alone is worthy of praise, for HE alone, is God Almighty.
