Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalm 103:1 – 5

What amazing benefits! Jesus forgives, heals, redeems, crowns us with love and compassion and satisfies us – with good things!  Jesus loves us with eternal love.  He walks with us as we walk with him.

I am almost 90 years old!  This Psalm of David is as real and appropriate as when he wrote it many centuries ago.  And it is as true for me today as when I was 19!

I have tasted a lot of things, none come close to these divine words of promise.  What more can I ask?  Maybe the grace to apply all his promises to my life right now!  That is a window into heaven, and a solid affirmation of Jesus in my life.  The way is open, the plan is perfect.  Soul, go in!
