The 103rd Psalm is a call for each of us to acknowledge the blessings that God has given us. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases and withholds no good thing from His children. We are also reminded in this text of the greatness of God's intrinsic qualities that make His interaction with us filled with goodness. The response, says the author, that comes from the saints of God is to bless Him with all of our soul. By blessing him, we mean that we bring a smile to His face and make him glad that we are His children. Our God deserves nothing short of all of our best in word, in thought and deed.
