MERCY not MEMORY
PSALM 103:12
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
It seems I wake in the morning ready to Praise my Lord:
Every day I Pray and say thank You and utter His Powerful name over my day, over my thoughts, over my worries, over my distractions, over my body, over my exhaustion.
As I start to think on what I have to do, what the last day brought to my feet to handle or complete... I let it go to You. Over and Over.
And still it takes such a toll on me to walk it out. To walk in belief - no! To walk in ACTION of what I DO believe.
How good You are to me Lord! How gentle my lessons, every day.
Again I give this day and every piece of me in this day, I yield, willingly. I ask you to crush the part of me that holds back. Make me new.
I see the fruit of the new.
Help me Love You more Lord.
I know my life is changing, in deep upheaval with work, my Bible Tribe, my joy, my living... any and all of it. LORD HERE AM I. Make me ready for the person You have made me to be.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Psalm 103
Of David.
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
I have never heard this pastor, and find it invigorating in style and content. Always exploring and leaning in....
