Verse of the day: Bless, my soul, the Lord, and all that is in me, bless his holy name (Psalm 103. 1).
Does the psalm begin and end with the Psalmist preaching to his soul to bless the Lord?And preaching to the angels, the armies of heaven, and the works of God’s hands. Psalm is extremely focused on the Lord’s blessing. Do you want to bless the Lord? It means talking about your greatness and kindness.
- What David does in the first and last verse of this psalm.
- When he says.
- “Blessed be the Lord.
- My soul.
- ” that proclaiming God’s goodness and greatness must come from the soul.
Blessing God with a heartless mouth would be hypocrisy. Jesus said, “Does this people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me?(Matthew 15. 8). David knows this danger and preaches himself so that it does not happen. “
Come, soul, contemplate the greatness and goodness of God; Join my mouth and bless the Lord with all our being.
