Psalm 103

This psalm provided a lot of encouragement yesterday.  I'll link to it here:  BibleGateway.com.  It offers praise to the Lord for forgiveness of sins, and speaks to me about God's grace.  I love its simple way of offering praise, referencing the soul.  Some of us have forgotten that we have a soul.  Some of us have forgotten who God is, and what that means for us.  Some of the most amazing phrases in the Bible are in this psalm -- "slow to anger, abounding in love," "as far as the east is from the west."  It's best read in its entirety, but my favorite line is "Praise the Lord, O my soul."  It begins and ends the Psalm.  It offers a straightforward command to God's people, and reminds me that my soul is the one that should be doing the praising.  Praise the Lord, O my soul.
