Theme: BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL
Text: “Bless the LORD, O my soul… Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” – Psalm 103:1, 5.
Comment: Notwithstanding the effort we make in order to attain our daily bread, the fact remains that, it is God Almighty Who provides for us, by blessing the works of our hands. Spiritually, our daily bread is in reference to the word of God. Because of its satisfying and nourishing effect, the prophet Moses charged his fellow compatriots, the Israel of old, that “man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” (Deuteronomy 8:3) Showing a good understanding of the above, Job made the declaration: “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:12, Isaiah 55:1-3) The renewal of our youth like that of the eagle’s has to do with longevity, strength, and benefits He bestows on His people who are obedient to His precepts. (Isaiah 40:29-31) Indeed, let us be grateful to the Most High God.

Theme: BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL
Text: “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…” – 2 Chronicles 16:9.
Comment: God Almighty takes no pleasure in faithlessness. Under divine inspiration, Paul the apostle exhorts Christians: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” (Ephesian 6:10) Because of faithlessness, we easily lose sight of God’s blessings, protection, and deliverance given us in the past, when we are suddenly faced with circumstances which may sometimes not even be compared with previous cases. Asa, king of Judah, was guilty of this, when Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah. Instead of seeking help from the Almighty Father, he sought help from Benhadad, king of Syria, for which he was upbraided by Hanani, as conveyed in today’s devotional. We should, at all times, allow reflections of God’s goodness in the past, be our source of strength, hence king David declared: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits”. – Psalm 103:2; 40:5; 139:17, 18.
