This morning as I study I am again in Psalm. Today in Psalm 103 which is titled in my ESV; “Bless the Lord, O My Soul”. This Psalm is a glorification of God that focuses, as I am looking, at just how complete and full God’s grace and mercy is for us.
“8The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” – Psalm 103:8 (ESV)
You can see in the verse, the word “abounding” which means according to Merriam-Webster Online: existing in or providing a great or plentiful quantity or supply. As I looked at this passage that abundance and plentiful quantity really stood out to me in the words and phrases used throughout Psalm 103, as you can see here.
all – (used 9 times)
abounding
forever
as high as the heavens are above the earth
as far as the east is from the west
from everlasting to everlasting
in the heavens
I saw in these verses the unending mercy and grace of God. I am reminded of the fullness of His love for me. I am humbled by how He does not and will not give up on me. I am gracious for the care he provides for me always.
Will you reflect on the completeness of God’s Love for you? Is your take on God’s mercy and grace one that is full and complete? Are you able to see God’s grace as all and unending?
