How God Treats Me

Psalm 103: How God Treats Me

It did me, a confirmed guilt-ridden worrier, wonders to stumble on this a few days ago.

How God treats me:

1. He forgives ALL my sin. v. 3
2. He heals ALL my diseases (now or future). v. 3
3. He redeems my life from the pit. v. 4
4. He crowns me (think of this image!) with steadfast love and mercy. v. 4
5. He satisfies me with good. v. 5
6. He renews my youth. v. 5
7. He works righteousness and justice for me when I am oppressed. v. 6
8. And when I'm the oppressor, He is merciful and gracious. v. 8
9. He doesn't easily get angry with me, but He loves me very easily and abundantly. v. 8
10. When He must be angry with me, He never stays angry. v. 9
11. He doesn't deal with me based on mistakes. v. 10
12. He doesn't pay me back for my sins. v. 10
13. Rather, He takes those sins and REMOVES them from me. v. 12
14. His love to me is unimaginable: just when I think, He can't love me that much, He loves me more—as high as the sky and stars are above the earth. v. 11
15. He shows compassion on me the same way my dad does when I'm hurting. v. 13
16. He remembers that I am weak—He knows I need His help. v. 14
17. His giant love for me is also eternal; it will never get tired, and it will never end. v. 17
18. The same goes for His righteousness toward me. v. 17
19. His reign is over all of my life and all the world. He is in control of everything. v. 19

And so: Bless the Lord, O my soul.
