Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.
The first commandment is this Oh Israel: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...
ALL that is within me, ALL your heart, ALL your soul and ALL your mind.
Stop right there. Do I do this? HOW do I do this?
The second is like unto it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
Wait. There is something here. How do we give away all of something and have more left to give away?
David prays this song and it is a retelling of much of Israel's history. The Lord blesses and forgives, heals and redeems; he crowns us with steadfast love and mercy. Yes we have seen this. He does not stay angry forever; he brings us out of the pit (like Joseph?) he brings us out of slavery (like Moses and the Israelites?). He knows of what we are made: The earth is the Lords for he made it.
Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Angels and warriors-followers of his word, ministers and all the world...these are all his and I am thankful. I'm thinking that if we give love away to the Lord and according to his commands, He gives it right back and more than we had to begin with with. All that is within me, bless His holy name.
See you tomorrow
