Psalm 103

This verse came into my spirit yesterday as I was thinking of God's goodness...

Psalm 103

¹ Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

² Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-

³ who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,

⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,

⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Resolve

God's been speaking to me a lot about resolve....and I read this last night:


Never revise decisions. If you have made a wrong decision, then face the music and stand up to it; do not whimper and say--"I won't do that again." Take the initiative, take the step with your will now; burn your bridges behind you--"I will write that letter"; "I will pay that debt"; make it impossible to go back on the decision. Sentimentality always begins when we refuse to obey, when we refuse to take some stand God has told us to because of an insinuation that has come in from somewhere. If we hesitate, insinuations are sure to come."

-Chambers, Grow Up in Him, Take the Initiative
