REMEMBER THE GOODNESS OF GOD

MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE

Psalm 103: 1, 2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his Holy Name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

Today is a day to remember and forget not the loving-kindness of GOD. David was in a terrible place, hunted down and his life threatened; yet he gave praise to GOD for all His benefits. David was reminding His soul of the goodness of GOD; he was telling himself that "if GOD be for us, who can be against us". David was remembering the goodness of GOD and it gave him strength.

The letter in Hebrew which means "remember"  is the letter "mem" which literally means "pronouncement, which refers to the ten pronouncements with which GOD created the world" (Tehillim pg. 1462) When we remember to articulate the Word of the LORD, and stand on His promises in the Living Word of GOD; all darkness will vanish and we will see the light of life.

Forget not all His benefits.  Praise the LORD in all things, thanking GOD for His great mercy and goodness.  BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL.
