Psalm 103 was written by David, praising God for His love, for giving us hope and offering salvation. It is essentially the gospel message, the good news that God has offered the whole earth. “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit”.
Later, “The Lord is merciful and gracious… he does not deal with us according to our sins. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him”. God is like a father showing compassion on his children. In contrast to the brevity of man’s life, “the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him”.
Let us “keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments”, and in so doing praise and glorify our heavenly Father who has given so much for us.
