TODAY’S WORD…

.

Bless the LORD, O my soul;

and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

.

– Psalm 103:1

.

REFLECTION…

.

How wonderful it is

when true believers feel their inmost-self stir up to magnify the Lord,

to bless Him.

.

When we open up to the Lord,

He fills us with indescribable sentiments of acknowledgement, love and belonging.

.

All our faculties, emotions, and capacities, – all of them God-given –

are unleashed to join in a chorus to His praise

and in homage to Him, our Living God.

.

.

PRAYER…

.

Deep within, my soul stirs at the thought of You;

at the whisper of Your Holy Name.

.

My mind, my heart, my body, my soul

combine in a silent but quivering explosion of love and emotion

as I stop and put all else aside

and focus on You, my Lord, my God, my Saviour.

.

Suddenly, Your Holy Spirit takes over

and fills me with this superlative awareness of Your glorious presence.

.

Yes, LORD, my soul leaps with joy and my heart beats faster,

as my senses unite in joyful, reverential acknowledgement

of the presence of the One Who Is, Has Always Been, and Will Always Be.

.

Yes, bless the LORD, O my soul

and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name.
