GOD HAS ALREADY DEALT WITH IT ALL

Psalm 103
 Let all  that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart I will praise his holy name.
 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.....
For his unfailing love toward those who fear him 
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

I love this whole Psalm and the reassurance it brings to every area of our lives. It seems to cover it all and reminds us that God is for us not against us.

Even when we know God had a right to be angry with us He wants us to know He's not angry with us any more because of Jesus and His sacrifice. Everything has been dealt with that could possibly separate us from Him and He draws us close to Himself in His great love.

No matter where we're at today, whether we're feeling good or feeling bad about something, God says He's already dealt with it at the Cross so we can run to Him and not from Him day and night. How much we have to thank Him and praise Him for when we read He's like a Father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him and He remembers the frailties of our lives. (v.13-14) 

The Psalmist finishes in v.22 with Let all that I am praise the Lord.

So Lord we give you all our praise and thanks today as we remember all Your goodness and mercy to us, but most of all for loving us. Thank You Lord. Amen.
