BLESS HIS HOLY NAME

Psalm 103:1-2
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.

May I never forget! Sometimes we remember all the wrong things, don’t we? We go over in our minds the things that were hurtful or disastrous, or that we wished had never happened. But the Psalmist says differently. 

God seems to have given me this verse again so maybe I’ve forgotten it already! He keeps reminding us to never forget the good things as He lists them in this psalm. Let them run through our minds all the time, knowing they have all come from our good God. If we’ll choose to do that, then we’ll be filled with thanksgiving which will make us much happier on the inside when we realise that what God has done before, He will readily do again for us.😊

David stirred himself up and began with praising and blessing God’s holy name and if we remind ourselves of some of the names of God we’ll realise how easy it is to bless Him.

Jehovah Jireh - Our Provider, Jehovah Rapha - our Healer, El Shaddai - the God who is more than enough. There are many more names that describe our amazing God but even if we bless His Holy Name for who He has revealed Himself to be in these few names, it’s a good start.

And then there is the name of Jesus Himself, who is far above all principalities and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; Ephesians 1:21

Philippians 2:9-10 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Let’s wholeheartedly bless God as we praise His holy name today, as we remember He is God our Provider, our Healer, who is More Than Enough for us. We bless You Lord. Amen.
