Bless The Lord oh my soul and don't forget a single thing he's done for you
He forgives ALL your iniquities- every single one of them- He heals your dieses- your heart's deepest disgust - He redeems your life from the pit- "no pit is so deep that God is not there." Corrie
He crowns you with steadfast love and mercy- a crown, a sign of power, power comes from the way I am loved and the consequences deferred. He satisfies you with good- I. Am. Satisfied. With. Good. Right here, where I am, with what I've been given.
The Lord works justice and righteousness for all who are oppressed.
He made known His was to Moses. His acts to the people of Israel - He doesn't hide- the Lord is merciFUL and gracious. Slow to anger and ABOUNDING in steadfast love.
He will not always chide nor will he keep his anger forever- with out his anger there would be no grace to soak in no comfort of justice to come. What comfort righteous anger can bring.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth so great is His steadfast love- love with no exit stratigy- towards those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west- as far as the sun set from the sun rise- so far does He remove our transgressions from us.
As a father- a daddy, an abbaba, a papa- shows compassion on his children so God shows compassion to us.
For he knows our frame- our frailty- he remembers we are but dust. As for man his days are like grass, he withers like the flower of the field. The wind passes over it and its place knows it no more.
BUT - compaired to our frailty, forgetability, our temperarity-
the
STEADFAST love of The Lord is from
E V E R L A S T I N G to
E V E R L A S T I N G
Bless. The. Lord. Oh. My. Soul.
