Psalm 103:1-5

1 BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL: AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME.

O my soul, BLESS the LORD! Bless the LORD "which holdeth (thy) soul in life..." (Ps. 66:9) Bless the LORD, Sherry, with everything you've got - with all that is within thee - with body, soul, and spirit! Bless the LORD especially with thy SPIRIT, Sherry. Bless His HOLY NAME and all His wonderful attributes!

2 BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS:

Yes, bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his BENEFITS to thee this day! The benefit of a good nights' sleep without sleeping aids is such a great blessing. Forget it not! The benefit of a day without intense hunger and stomach burning is such a great blessing.
Forget it not! The benefit of organic meat, supplements, and medicines for thy body is such a great blessing. Forget it not! The benefit of a sunny day and a quiet spot away from noise and stress is such a great blessing. Forget it not! And most of all, a clear mind this morning to meditate on God's Word and a hunger and thirst and desire to do so, is the greatest blessing of all! Bless the LORD, O my soul!

3 WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES; WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES;

Bless the Lord, Sherry, for He forgiveth ALL thine iniquities - even thy horrible sin of fear. He has cast thy sins away and removed them as far as the east is from the west. And yes, He HEALETH all thy diseases! He is in the process of healing thee. The healing shall come - sooner or later. It shall come instantly at death, and maybe before. It SHALL come! Thou shalt fly to the arms of Jesus and have no more discomfort, no more pain, no more need for sleep, no more fear about intense suffering and dying. Thou shalt live forever, and thou shalt be happy and well! (Bless the LORD, O my soul...who healeth ALL (MY) DISEASES!

4 WHO REDDEMETH THY LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION; WHO CROWNETH THEE WITH
LOVINGKINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES;

He has redeemed thy life! Jesus bought it back by His blood! Hallelujah! No hell for thee, Sherry! Praise His Name! He has encircled thee with MERCY. Thou art His little one, and He LOVES you! Some mornings you feel nothing but hopelessness and despair. You find
it hard to hear His voice, and you wonder if He's really there at all...UNTIL you feel the sparkling crown of "lovingkindness" that He gently places upon thy head. Yes, He IS always there with thee. He LOVES thee! Thou art His precious child!

"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...", He whispers to thee. He LOVES thee!

5 WHO SATISFIETH THY MOUTH WITH GOOD THINGS; SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLES.

There is a promise for thee today? Yes! As you "eat the Word", He shall give thee youth and spiritual renewal like the eagles' so that you may SOAR again with His strength! (Bless the Lord, O my soul!)
