Ps. 103: What God Did

Psalm 103:17-18 "But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children - with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts."

David resets why we praise. He lists off all these things that God has done for men, out of his own mercy and grace. It's all here.

 - Forgives sins

 - Heals diseases

 - Redeems from the pit

 - Crowns with love and compassion

 - Satisfies your desires with good things

 - Works righteousness and justice for the oppressed

 - Revealed himself and his deeds to Moses and Israel

 - Compassionate

 - Gracious

 - Slow to anger

 - Abounding in love

 - Not always accusing

 - His anger is temporary

 - Does not treat us as our sins deserve

 - Does not repay us according to our sins

 - Acts on great love for those who fear him

 - Infinite removal of transgressions

All these in spite of our status as dust, essentially. Why question that kind of love? How very praiseworthy indeed. It's really quite a list, and I suspect it's not even everything God has done.

Or will do.
