Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
Jesus, I’ll worship Your holy name
Lord, I’ll worship Your holy name
Singer/Songwriter Matt Redman with Jonas Myrin

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this song? For me, it’s all the things God has redeemed me from…. God has been so good to me!
Here is what God wants from us in return:
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings….
Philippians 2:13-14 (KJV)
We are to do ALL things without murmurings and disputings (or complaining). I heard Joyce Meyer once say, “Complain and Remain, or Praise and Be Raised.” This reminds me of the Israelites who complained on the 40 year journey that should have only taken them 11 days.
Does this mean that we have to like our current circumstances? NO!! In fact I haven’t liked most of my circumstances. But it does mean that we trust God’s faithfulness so much. And that we hold onto the joy that is only found in Him. And we choose to remember and be thankful for what He has done for us and then be obedient to what He calls us to do. Obedience is at the core of receiving this new life of blessings.
He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Luke 11:28 NIV
No matter what we are currently walking through…God is worthy to be praised!

Heavenly Father, I bless Your Holy name and thank You that whatever may pass or whatever lies before me…I will be singing before the evening comes. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Lord, I’ll worship Your Holy Name. Amen.
