Bless the Lord

January 21, 2025

First, just a quick reminder that the Annual Meeting is this Sunday (January 26), and the Sword of Gideon Men’s Retreat is a week from Friday/Saturday (Jan 31/Feb 1)!

Then, a Psalm for your prayers this week:

Psalm 103[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name![2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,[3] who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,[4] who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,[5] who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.[6] The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.[7] He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.[9] He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.[10] He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.[11] For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;[12] as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.[13] As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.[14] For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.[15] As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;[16] for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.[17] But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children,[18] to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.[19] The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.[20] Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word![21] Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will![22] Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion.Bless the LORD, O my soul!
