…Who Satisfies Your Desires

With Good Things

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.

The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 103:1-12

We often have times when something good happens in our lives. We should praise God.

He “does not treat us as our sins deserve.” He removes our sins “as far as the east is from the west,” when we repent and accept Christ as our Savior. His sacrifice erases the debt we once owed. Completely.

Once forgiven, we are defined by or limited by our past debt. In response to the Lord’s extravagant gift, we can acknowledge al He’s done. Offering our devoted worship and grateful affection, we can live for Him and share Him with others.

Our greatest debt, caused by sin, is erased by our greater God.
