Bless The Lord

BLESS THE LORD

PSALM 103:1-12

….I HAVE TO START OUT BY SAYING THAT I AM NOT SURE WHERE THIS THOUGHT ORIGINATED FROM. IT WAS PENNED DOWN IN MY BIBLE MARGIN. IF IT CAME FROM ONE OF THE MEN IN THE GROUPS ALLOW ME TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THESE TOUGHTS PREACHED!!!

THEY MAY HAVE COME FROM THE TREASURY OF DAVID BOOKS ON PSALMS I’VE BEEN READING, EITHER WAY HERE THEY ARE AS SIMPLE AS IT GETS

INTRO:

V1-2 Lets observe the fact that David calls on all that is within him to remember all the Lord’s benefits upon him.

Not just his soul, but his mind, his heart, his received benefits, but with his entire mass he wants to bless the Lord. (Ps 68:19) read

V3-5 Lets notice that until iniquity is forgiven, healing, redemption and satisfaction are all unknown blessings

V5 If there is one thing that is certain for all of us is that our mouths need renewing

V7 To know ‘about God” is to know only His works

To know ‘Him’ is to know His ways and character

V9-10 Admitting sin is NOT the same as confessing sin.

Confessing sin is saying, I see things like God sees things, which brings on confession

1) THE PERSON THAT IS SPECIAL V1

….bless the LORD

read Psalm 104:1-24 for those reason to bless Him

2) THE PLACE THAT IS SINGING V1

….O my soul read Psalm 104:33-34

3) THE PLACE THAT IS SINGING V1

….all that is with in me

4) THE PLACE THAT IS SPIRITUAL V1-2

….bless His Holy Name

A. I’ve been forgiven

B. I’ve been healed

For the Cause
