COMPASSION ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM / PSALMS 103:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 103:13

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

COMPASSION ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM / PSALMS 103:13

God shows mercy to those who truly honor and respect Him for His power, judgment and intolerance of evil. The “fear of God” is a liberating fear that motivates us to avoid evil, to obey God’s Word and to live with a constant awareness of God’s mercy with a constant awareness of God’s mercy and nearness. According to this passage of Scripture, the blessings God gives to those who fear Him are:

  1. His mercy, love and forgiveness (Psalms 103:11-12, 17; Isaiah 1:18; Isaiah 38:17; Jeremiah 31:14).
  2. His fatherly compassion (Psalms 103:13-14).
  3. His faithfulness and goodness to their families and descendants (Psalms 103:17).

FORGIVES … HEALS / PSALMS 103:3-16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 103:3-16

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

FORGIVES … HEALS / PSALMS 103:3-16

Since the first humans rebelled against God’s instructions, the curse of sin, sickness and death has been upon the entire human race. But God has provided the means for victory over the consequences of this curse. This psalm lists God’s benefits for His people” forgiveness of sins, healing for diseases and the gifts of spiritual freedom and eternal life. Forgiveness is the first and most important gift we can receive from God because it restores our relationship with Him and rescues us from spiritual destruction (Psalms 103:4). Physical healing is also part of God’s complete salvation – a benefit available to those who have received forgiveness and a personal relationship with God (James 5:15-16).

PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL / PSALMS 103:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 103:1-2

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:

PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL / PSALMS 103:1-2

This psalm expresses thanksgiving and praise to the Lord for the benefits and blessings He gives those who accept His commands and promises and who maintain a faithful relationship with Him. We must never forget God’s goodness to us (Deuteronomy 8:12-14; 2 Chronicles 32:25) or fail to thank Him for the blessings He generously gives us through the Holy Spirit (Psalms 103:3-16; Acts 2:38; Acts 2:39; Acts 9:17-18; John 14:16).

THE LORD IS GRACIOUS / PSALMS 145:8

START YOUR DAY RIHGT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 145:8

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

THE LORD IS GRACIOUS / PSALMS 145:8

This phrase is often repeated and expresses God’s delight in showing mercy (Exodus 34:6-7). When He sees misery, it brings out His compassion. Wehn we offend Him, He is slow to become angry and quick to show love and mercy to those who humbly request His forgiveness (Exodus 3:7; Judges 2:18).

EVERY DAY I WILL PRAISE YOU / PSALMS 145:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 145:1-2

(David’s Psalm of praise.) I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

EVERY DAY I WILL PRAISE YOU / PSALMS 145:1-2

We should never let a day pass without praising and thanking God for His blessings and gifts to us. He is our Maker, Redeemer (Savior) and Provider (Psalms 34:1). In other words, we owe Him our lives because

  1. He created us.
  2. He paid the highest price to “buy back” (redeem) our lives and set us free from sin (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 6:20).
  3. He continues to generously proved everything we need. All of this is more than enough reason to be eternally grateful to God and to honor Him with our lives.

(KJV) Psalms 119:1

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

BLESSED – THE LAW / PSALMS 119:1

BLESSED

God promises to generously bless those who have chosen to live by His Word with its standards, guidelines, instructions, commands and promises. They will enjoy His personal presence (Genesis 26:3), which will bring them strength, help and protection (Ephesians 3:16; Colossians 1:11; Luke 24:50).

THE LAW

The law (Hebrew torah) represents God’s entire instruction to His people. It can also refer to the Pentateuch (the first five Old Testament books, or to the Old Testament as a whole.

MY SON TODAY I HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER / PSALMS 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 2:7

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

MY SON TODAY I HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER / PSALMS 2:7

“Become your father” literally translates “brought you forth.” A similar phrase was used to describe a woman giving birth, but it was also a technical term for a king presenting his son before the people. The king proclaimed, or officially announced, his son as king along with his father (1 Kings 1:32-34, where David did this for his son, Solomon). Here it applies to Jesus’ public proclamation as God’s Son and His anointing (commissioning, empowerment, authority) as the ultimate prophet, priest, and king (Matthew 3:12; Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; 5:5; 7:28; 2 Peter 1:21).

THE WICKED / PSALMS 1:4-6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 1:4-6

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

THE WICKED / PSALMS 1:4-6

Psalms 1 uses three thought-provoking pictures to describe those who resist God and choose to go their own way:

  1. They are like “chaff” (the dried coverings from grain or grass seeds) blown away by forces they cannot see (Psalms 1:4; Ephesians 2:2).
  2. They are the ones who will be condemned on the judgment day (Psalms 1:5; 76:7; Malachi 3:2; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 6:17).
  3. They are the ones who will perish for eternity (Psalms 1:6; Matthew 10:28).
