\nA few selected verses from Psalm 103<\/a> as introduction to our November theme of the month: Remember<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n

\n1<\/sup> Praise the LORD, my soul;
\n all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
\n2<\/sup> Praise the LORD, my soul,
\n and FORGET NOT<\/span> all his benefits \u2013
\n3<\/sup> who forgives all your sins
\n and heals all your diseases,
\n4<\/sup> who redeems your life from the pit
\n and crowns you with love and compassion,
\n5<\/sup> who satisfies your desires with good things
\n so that your youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s.<\/p>\n

13<\/sup> As a father has compassion on his children,
\n so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
\n14<\/sup> for he knows how we are formed,
\n he REMEMBERS<\/span> that we are dust.<\/p>\n

17<\/sup> But from everlasting to everlasting
\n the LORD\u2019s love is with those who fear him,
\n and his righteousness with their children\u2019s children \u2013
\n18<\/sup> with those who keep his covenant
\n and REMEMBER<\/span> to obey his precepts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Digging deeper<\/h3>\n

Why not make time in the next few days to read the whole psalm and commit a few of the verses to memory, so the psalm can minister to you now and in the future?<\/p>\n

Also, check out the Expanded Bible<\/a> version. Not only does it amplify the words, it also includes cross references.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
