Psalm 103 Mini-series: Episode 6

As for man, his days are like grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more; and its place acknowledges it no longer. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children. To those who keep His covenant, and remember His precepts to do them. (Ps.103: 15-18)

Do you ever feel like your life is going nowhere? The days pass and you wonder if it all means anything? I think this is what David was experiencing–his life just blowing away like dead grass. Yet he knew that his Savior lives, and that his ultimate reward would be amazing. Hang on to God, serve Him with all the obedience and fervor you can muster. Your reward will be great!

Speak to your Mountain

My child, speak to your mountain. Say to it, “Be taken up and cast into the sea!” Have faith and walk by My Spirit. You are an over-comer. My power is perfected in your weakness.
Matthew 21:21-22 2 Corinthians 12:9

This is the Way

My child, your days are in My hands. I will lead you in the way you should go. You will hear a word behind you saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.” Do not fear or be anxious. Trust Me with your life. I am your Sustainer. I am your Father who loves you with everlasting love. Isaiah 30:21

Draw Close

My child, I am the Lord your God and there is none besides Me. I created you and formed you in your mother’s womb. I know the plans I have for you and they are good. Draw close to Me. I will not fail you nor forsake you. Psalm 139:13 Jeremiah 29:11 Joshua 1:5

Authority

My child, your prayers are more powerful than you know. All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Pray in My Name with authority. Pray My will, it’s in My Word. Pray and believe and you will see miracles happen. Matthew 28:18-20

How Could It Get Any Better? Psalm 103

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on His children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. (Psalm 103: 11-14)

Are any of you parents? When your child messes up does your love shut off? Of course not! Knowing that he or she is simply immature, your compassion and devotion come to the forefront–even though you may need some time to simmer down. So it is in our relationship with God. He realizes that we are “but dust” and takes our nature into consideration as He goes about the process of molding our character to His image. He has removed our faults and weakness–our sin–as far away from Himself as can possibly be imagined. Now that’s a deal!
