Psalm 103:1-5<\/strong><\/p>\n

“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: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me tell you a little story. Two weeks ago when I prepared the Daily-E-Votional<\/em> for Friday (I do this a few days earlier), I chose the old hymn Abide With Me<\/em>. By the very title you can gather that this is a prayer. At that time I had no idea how much I really needed the Lord to abide with me.<\/p>\n

On February 3rd I met with my doctor to review the results of my tread mill stress test. He did not allow me to return home. He sent me to the hospital immediately for a heart catherization the following morning. That test revealed three blockages, and the following morning I underwent by-pass surgery for the three arteries. My prayer through all of this was for the Lord to be with me, and He was! It was only later that I saw the significance of the hymn to my need.<\/p>\n

Praise has been on my tongue for the mighty way God has used this episode in my life to bring about His power and glory. I want the majestic praise found in the words of this week’s hymn to become more and more a reality in my life.<\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
\nO my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
\nAll ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near;
\nJoin me in glad adoration! <\/em><\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who o\u2019er all things so wondrously reigneth,
\nShelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
\nHast thou not seen how thy desires e\u2019er have been
\nGranted in what He ordaineth? <\/em><\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee!
\nDecked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee;
\nHow oft in grief hath not He bought thee relief,
\nSpreading His wings for to shade thee! <\/em><\/p>\n

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
\nAll that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
\nLet the Amen sound from His people again;
\nGladly for aye we adore Him.<\/em><\/p>\n
