Psalm 103:2-3: Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who
forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases...
We,
the Christian believers, can get so used to the treasures of forgiveness and
healing that we forget to continually give thanks to our Lord and Redeemer.
We
become so accustomed to redemption, salvation, renewal, forgiveness, healing
and miracles, that it no longer stirs us, moves us, or excites us. We become
able to express a firm belief that we have been forgiven, and healed, without
being in awe of God’s grace.
God
wants to be praised. God expects thanksgiving from us who have been given redemption
and salvation, the greatest of all possible gifts. In fact, to neglect the
response of thanksgiving, is to steal from God of the glory due to him for his
healing, deliverance and saving mercies.
It
is true that God does not need our praise and thanksgiving - but he does
want it.
May
you be blessed when you in song, prayer and worship, and more importantly
through a life committed to Gods service, only seek the glory of God in
everything you do. When you truthfully with the Psalmist say to the Lord:
Praise the LORD 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. (Ps 103: 4,5)
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Amen.
