I love puzzles! I remember family vacations or holidays where my mother, siblings, and both of my grandmothers would take turns huddling around a table working piece by piece to complete our "masterpiece". And it was always an honor (and so rewarding) to place the last piece.
Our relationships with each other and with God are also somewhat of a puzzle. The more I learn about someone, the more their words, actions, and decisions make sense to me. Kind of like putting a puzzle together. The more I learn about God, the more I understand Him, His nature, His attributes, His ways.
These three Psalms are packed with words that describe God.... who He is and what He's done. Miracle after miracle is documented and as a response, the authors simply, but passionately, praise God from the bottom of their souls.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name."
~Psalm 103:1
I've learned through my recent Youtube searches that many verses from Psalms 103 and 104 have been chosen for hymns and praise songs. These two chapters are filled with God's wondrous love, powerful actions, and tender care for his creation. More puzzle pieces.
Psalm 105 has been previously referenced in this blog as the "Cliff Notes" version of the Israelites' history, escape from Egypt, and entering the Promised Land. I certainly appreciate this much more after having read all of the details in the first few books of the Bible. More puzzle pieces.
God is still the same today as then. He is still in complete control. He still maintains His creation. He still provides for His children. He still loves us unconditionally. Take a few minutes to watch this video, be still, and allow your heart to hear what God shares in Psalm 103. Then respond with Praise!
