("How To Receive Christ")
-- Psalm 146:1-2 = 1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. / 2 I will praise the LORD all my life; / I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
-- Colossians 3:16 = Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
-- Romans 8:28 = And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

What God gives! He calls Blessing. / Why He gives? It's called PURPOSE. / There's Purpose tied to every Blessing.
Psalm 103: This Psalm is possibly the greatest, grandest, and most glorious poem of praise to Jehovah God ever composed. In it David's zeal reaches its zenith. His reach is higher, his thoughts are deeper, his songs is sweeter, and his heart is more moved than in any other prayer of praise in the Bible. / / David's praise focused on God's glorious deeds. It is easy to complain about life, but David's list gives us plenty for which to praise God: He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and gives righteousness and justice. We receive all of these without deserving any of them. No matter how difficult your life's journey, you can always count your blessings -- past, present, and future. When you feel as though you have nothing for which to praise God, read David's list.

Alleluia! / Praise with us the God of grace. / / -- Hen­ry F. Lyte & John Goss
