Psalm 103:1-5 NIV – Of David. Praise the LORD, my soul; all – Bible Gateway https://share.google/C8EPTS9X3QV42FFsc

With this devotional, I would like to remind myself and all of the readers about the goodness of God. In Psalm 103:1-5, it gives a beginning of what we can be thankful for... for our healings, for our salvation, for prevention of disaster, and for His knowing how to adequately satisfy our desires. Seph Schleuter sings about the endless blessings we have in Christ.

The blessings do go into infinity! If we sat down and began thanking the Lord for His goodness in our lives, we would run out of time! Isn’t it amazing that we as humans are very short sighted. Our attention tends to focus on what we still have need of, instead of the omnipotence of God.  We end up putting God into the box of being like us. 

We should start making memorials to recall the times of Jesus’ intervening in our lives.  That was what God wanted the Children of Istael to do, throughout the Old Testament. God is still the same God today, and He deserves our praise and testimony!

The Spirit doesn’t want us coming to a place of complaining and discontentment. We should let the Spirit help us become men and women who are thankful and trust their Heavenly Father.  Just because we experience our wilderness times, let us not go about complaining. How does that glorify God?  Let us magnify the Lord, Psalm 34:3!
