I Will Bless The Lord!


Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.Praise the LORD, my soul; and forget not all his benefits; who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psalm 103:1-6

In the midst of living and going through trials and tribulations, we tend to forget who God really is. We get preoccupied with bringing the daily bread home that we forget who provided for it.God is more than our "go to" contact. God is our Holy Father, and the One who originates all things. He deserve praise, glory and our appreciation. Sometimes, one has "to stop and smell the roses." We have to make time to thank God for who he is.

I want to take a moment to praise Him today. I want to tell Him that I love Him. I want to put all concern aside to praise him and you can join me.We spend too much time asking for all that God already provide that we miss out on who He really is.

Who is God?
The Bible instructs us that from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God is a Trinity and because of the Trinity, He became flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can still run the universe. God is just (Acts 17:31), loving (Ephesians 2:4-5), truthful (John 14:6), and holy (1 John 1:5). God shows compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3), mercy (Romans 9:15), and grace (Romans 5:17). God judges sin (Psalm 5:5) but also offers forgiveness (Psalm 130:4). God is infinite (1 Timothy 1:17), incomparable (2 Samuel 7:22), and unchanging (Malachi 3:6). God exists everywhere (Psalm 139:7-12), knows everything (Matthew 11:21), and holds all power and authority forever (Ephesians 1; Revelation 19:6). God is able. He disciplines His children (Hebrews 12:6); and He will ONE DAY judge the world (Revelation 20:11-15). God deserves praise.

All that I am and all I wish to be bless the Lord today. He is worthy. He is worthy. He is worthy! Looking back at my life, I can clearly see that God has always been present. His love for us knows no limit. He is patient. He is good. He does not give me according to my performance. He blesses me because He is merciful. How can I not thank you Lord?
