Psalms 103:2
Psalms 103:2
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
This verse reminds us to praise God with our whole hearts and never forget about the good things that He has done for us in our lives. According to many studies, we remember negative experiences more often than positive ones since our brains are hardwired to notice a bad experience sooner and remember it longer so that we can protect ourselves when we encounter similar situations again. When we focus on the miseries in our lives, we forget about the blessings that God has provided - He keeps us safe, heals our diseases, answers our prayers, surrounds us with love, forgives our sins, and redeems us from death. Even though we don't deserve any of them, God has provided them to us as free gifts. No matter how difficult life gets, we can always count on God's blessings. If He has done it, He will do it again. He is the same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Let's praise God for all He has done!
