Psalm 103 this evening, I'm taking
the title or the message from what is said in verse one, verse
two, verse 20, and then twice in verse 22. Bless the Lord,
bless the Lord. Now this is just not being religious,
this is really the desire of every believer. to bless the
Lord, and it means by that to worship the Lord. He's worthy
of our worship. Bless the Lord, that is to honor
Him, to reverence His name. Holy and reverent is His name.
And it's a privilege that the people have who believe the gospel
to honor and worship God, our Savior. To do so is not grievous. It's good, it's good to bless
the Lord. And it's not just an outward
show, bless the Lord, oh my soul, in the heart. You see, salvation
is a heart work. And the Lord, the Lord looks
upon the heart. He knows us through and through.
Our sitting down, our standing up, the Lord knows us, and this
is the God all things are naked and open unto the eyes of him
with whom we have to do. Now, it's interesting. This particular
Psalm 103, some of the old writers, commentators on this psalm said
this psalm is like a condensed version of the Bible, for it
contains all the great works of God in creation, in redemption,
in providence, in grace, in his mercy. They endure forever. And then we see that salvation
is his doing. He separated our sins from us,
from us. As I mentioned earlier, the name
of Jehovah is given to us 11 times in these 22 verses. 11
times God would have us remember his holy name Jehovah God our
Savior salvation. We know is of the Lord Now, let's
take a look at verse 1 Bless the Lord. Oh My soul and all
that is within me bless his holy name This is the delightful honor,
privilege that God bestows to His people and the joy of every
believer that is to bless, to kneel in worship and adoration
and reverence for the Lord. All that He is, He's everything. All that He is, Christ is all
and in all. For all that He has done, He's
accomplished all of our salvation. He performed all things for us
and all that he is doing, doing right now. What's he doing right
now? Well, he's seated on the throne in glory, right? But what's
he doing there? He ever lived to intercede for
us as our advocate, as our mediator. So we bless him for who he is
in his person, God Almighty, who is holy. We bless him and
honor and worship him for what he's done and all that he's doing. He has blessed us now and forever
with all spiritual blessings. You remember what we read in
Psalm 103? Bless the Lord. who had blessed
us, we bless him because he's blessed us. It's like saying
we love him because he first loved us. We bless the Lord who
had blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in
the Lord Jesus Christ. How do we bless the Lord and
honor the Lord and worship him? It says here, oh my soul, oh
my soul, that is in my heart inwardly and sincerely, not just
with an outward show of hands, but in the heart, in the heart,
in the mind, in the will, in the affection. When the scriptures
talk about the heart of man, talking about his mind, his will,
his affection, that's all affected and made new in Christ. How do we bless the Lord? In
our heart. Why do we bless the Lord? WELL
THAT'S OBVIOUS, IS IT NOT? HE'S WORTHY OF ALL HONOR AND
GLORY. WHEN DO WE BLESS THE LORD? WHEN
SHOULD WE BLESS THE LORD? WHEN? TURN JUST ONE PAGE TO PSALM
104. PSALM 104, VERSE 33. I WILL SING UNTO THE LORD AS
LONG AS I LIVE. I WILL PRAISE MY GOD WHILE I
HAVE ANY BEING. AND THEN TURN OVER TO PSALM 145. PSALM 145, VERSE 1. I WILL EXTOL THEE, MY GOD, O
KING, I'LL BLESS THY NAME FOREVER AND EVER, EVERY DAY. PSALM 145,
VERSE 2. YOU SEE IT? EVERY DAY WILL I
BLESS THEE. I will praise thy name forever
and ever great is the Lord and greatly to be praised and his
greatness is unsearchable. Remember Paul writes about the
unsearchable riches we have in Christ Jesus. So how do we bless
him in the heart? Why do we bless him? Worthy is
the lamb that was slain. When do God's people desire to
honor and worship and bless him? At all times. at all times ye
people. Now, let my mind bless him by
submitting to his word. Let my thoughts bless him by
meditating upon him as he's revealed in the word. Let my affections
bless him by loving him as he is revealed. How is he revealed? As the Lord God Almighty of heaven
and on earth. WHO DOES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
IN HEAVEN, EARTH, SEA, AND ALL DEEP PLACES. LET MY HOPE BLESS
HIM BY RESTING IN HIS PRECIOUS PROMISES THAT ARE EXCEEDING AND
GREAT. AND BY THESE EXCEEDING GREAT
AND PRECIOUS PROMISES, WE HAVE A GOOD HOPE THROUGH GRACE, DON'T
WE? Look at verse two, Psalm 103
verse two. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Salvation, you know, comes with
benefits. A lot of people are interested
when they interview for a job, I want to know what kind of benefits
come with the job. If it has good benefits, I might
consider working for a particular company. If they don't have very
good benefits, I might try to find employment in another company. But to the believer who does
not forget where and who has saved him, and we forget not
all of his blessings to us, all of his benefits to us. They are
innumerable and they are eternal blessings, infinite benefits
that he gives us. Now, don't forget, would you
forget? THE LORD GAVE ISRAEL THE PASSOVER
FEAST. WHY DID HE GIVE THEM THAT PASSOVER
FEAST? THIS DO TO REMEMBER HOW YOU GOT
OUT OF EGYPTIAN BONDAGE FOR 400 YEARS. HOW DID YOU GET OUT OF
THERE? GOD SAID, WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I'LL PASS OVER YOU. THE
LORD GAVE US HIS TABLE TO OBSERVE. THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. As often as you eat this bread
and drink this cup, you do so for the Lord's death. This do
in remembrance of me." Now, why would he tell us not to forget? Because we're so prone to forget.
Because he knows our frame, he knows that we're but dust. Sadly,
we often remember what we should forget. AND FORGET THE THINGS
WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER. YOU HAVE THAT PROBLEM? I SURE
DO. WHAT KIND OF BENEFIT DOES THE
LORD HAVE FOR HIS COVENANT PEOPLE? THE BEST. THE BEST. My God shall supply all your
need according to his riches in glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. There is not a spiritual and
eternal need that we have that the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't
fully meet and fulfill. In him dwells all the fullness
of a Godhead bodily and in Christ we are complete. Everything God
requires of us is fully MET IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE'S MY
WISDOM, MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, MY SANCTIFICATION, AND HE'S MY REDEMPTION. OF HIS FULLNESS HAVE WE ALL RECEIVED
GRACE FOR GRACE. OF HIS FULLNESS. THE ONLY REASON
FOR GRACE OF HIS FULLNESS HAVE WE ALL RECEIVED GRACE FOR OR
GRACE BECAUSE OF GRACE. THERE'S A REASON FOR GRACE. WHY
WOULD GOD BE GRACIOUS TO ANY OF US? We read in Exodus 34,
because he is gracious. Long suffering. Now, let's go on. Forget not all of his benefits.
And then he reminds us so we don't forget. Number one, verse
three. THE TOP OF THE LIST OF THESE
BENEFITS, BLESSINGS THAT HE GIVES US, WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL AND ETERNAL
BLESSINGS THAT HE OBTAINED FOR US WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, WHO FORGIVETH
ALL THINE INIQUITIES. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOM THE LORD
WILL NOT CHARGE SIN. HE FORGIVETH NOT SOME OF OUR
INIQUITIES, HE FORGIVES ALL OUR INIQUITIES. HE FORGIVES OUR INIQUITIES
FOR ONE REASON. Because the blood of Jesus Christ,
God's son, cleanses us from all our sin. Because the Lord Jesus
Christ appeared once in the end of the age to put away sin by
the sacrifice of himself. How is sin put away? It's a difficult
thing to put away, sin. The blood of bulls and of goats
that flowed on Jewish altars for thousands of years never
put away one sin. BUT BY HIS ONE SACRIFICE HE PERFECTED
FOREVER THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED, WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES."
GOD ALMIGHTY HAS FORGIVEN THE INIQUITIES OF HIS PEOPLE, ABSOLUTELY,
FULLY AND TOTALLY, BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST APPEARED TO
PUT AWAY OUR SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF. DOWN IN VERSE 12,
AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, So far hath he removed
our transgressions from us. Look at verse 10. He hath not
dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to
our iniquities. What's reward of transgression,
sin, and iniquity? What do we deserve? The wages of sin is death. but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Boy, that's a blessing, is it
not? That's a blessing, is it not? Do you remember over here,
if you wanna turn back to this, you can. Psalm 32, remember. Psalm 32 verse one, blessed is
he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed
is a man unto whom the Lord imputed not iniquity, in whose spirit
there is no God. Now that's a blessed man. THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST. ONE TIME OUR SIN SEPARATED US
FROM GOD, ISAIAH 59-1. NOW THE LORD SEPARATED OUR SIN
FROM US AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST. WHO FORGIVETH
ALL THINE INIQUITIES, AND THEN HE SAYS, IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH
HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES
OF HIS GRACE. THIS IS THE ONE WHO'S FORGIVEN
US, AND BECAUSE HE'S FORGIVEN US, HE HEALS US. HE'S HEALED
ALL OUR DISEASES. Now, this body, by nature, this
flesh, is diseased. That's why it says, he knows
our frame. He knows that we are dust. As
for man, his days are as grass, as the flower of the field. So
it flourishes, but the wind passes over it and it's gone. The place
thereof shall know it no more. This flesh is full of Diseases. We're terminal. We have the terminal
disease because of sin, what we are. Just look at this flesh. I mean, just, just look at it. I mean, it's just rotten away,
isn't it not? We're terminal. THIS IS NOT TALKING
ABOUT PHYSICAL HEALING, ALTHOUGH ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
NEW BODY JUST LIKE UNDER HIS GLORIOUS BODY. NO MORE PAIN,
NO MORE SIN, NO MORE DEATH. BUT HERE HE'S TALKING ABOUT OUR
SPIRITUAL HEALING. YOU REMEMBER ISAIAH 53, HE WAS
WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSION, BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITY, THE
CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND WITH HIS STRIPES
WE ARE, WHAT? HEALED. HEALED. HEALS US FOREVER IN OUR SOUL. HE MAKES US NEW CREATURES IN
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE MAKES US PARTAKERS OF A DIVINE
NATURE. THIS OLD FLESH IS A WRETCHED
MAN, BUT WE HAVE THAT NEW MAN CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS THAT
IS COMPLETELY HEALED IN HIM. LOOK AT VERSE 4. who redeemeth
thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with loving kindness,
tender mercies, tender mercies. Who does that? That word redeemeth
can be rendered delivers us. Who has delivered us from the
kingdom of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of God, dear
son. Now who can do that? Who redeemeth
us? FROM DESTRUCTION. NOW THIS SIN,
PROBLEM WE HAVE LEFT UNATTENDED BY THE BLOOD ATONEMENT OF CHRIST
LEADS ONE WAY TO ONE END. DAMNATION. DESTRUCTION. BUT HE'S REDEEMED US. HE DELIVERED
US. THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION
TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST. not with the blood of bulls and
goats. He says, for as much as you know, you're not redeemed
with silver and gold. We're not redeemed with our vain
conversation or vain tradition. We are redeemed with the precious
blood of Christ. We read it a moment ago in Ephesians
1, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace, He's forgiven all
of our iniquity. He's healed all of our diseases.
He's redeemed our life from damnation. He's given us salvation in Christ,
and then he crowns us. Now, can it get any better than
that? It can't get any better than
that. He crowns us with his loving
kindness. He's made us an object of his
love. And he's crowned us, having loved
his own, which were in the world, he loved them to the end. He
loved us with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving
kindness, what does he do? He draws us to himself, loving
kindness. He crowns us with his loving
kindness. He gives us his love in Christ
Jesus. And then he gives us his tender
mercies. THEY'RE TENDER MERCIES. TENDER
MERCIES. VERSE 5, WHO SATISFIES THY MOUTH
WITH GOOD THINGS. GOOD THINGS. REMEMBER THAT ONE
PSALM WAS TASTE, IT SAYS, TASTE AND SEE, THE LORD IS GOOD. HE SATISFIES YOUR THIRST, YOUR
HUNGER, When you get hungry, naturally speaking, what do you
do? I mean, there's such a craving
and such a desire when you get that feeling down deep in your
stomach and that gnaws on you and you sit there and you say,
well, I'm not gonna eat anything before I go to bed. I'm just
gonna put it off and it keeps gnawing on you and gnawing on
you and next thing you know, you're in the fridge. Why are
you in there? YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SATISFACTION,
AREN'T YOU? YOU WANT THAT PAIN AND THAT HUNGER
TO GO AWAY. MY FRIEND, THE GOSPEL OF THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST SATISFIES THAT HUNGER. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO
HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS. OH, AND WE'RE SO SATISFIED. GOOD
THINGS. TASTE AND SEE, THE LORD IS GOOD.
So much so, we're so satisfied with Christ in the good things
of the gospel, the good news of the gospel, that we sprout
wings and we fly high, so that thy youth is renewed like the
eagles, soaring high, satisfied with the Lord Jesus Christ. You
know, I thought about this over the years, Believers are satisfied
with the Lord Jesus Christ, right? WE'RE SATISFIED. HE IS EVERYTHING
TO US. BUT YOU KNOW, MORE IMPORTANTLY
AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT IS THE FACT THAT GOD IS SATISFIED
WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM
I AM WELL PLEASED. AND GOD SAYS THAT OF EVERY BELIEVER
IN HIM. GOD IS SATISFIED WITH CHRIST.
But more importantly, God is satisfied with his beloved son
who has accomplished our salvation and has renewed us. If any man
be in Christ, he's a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold,
all things have become new. Verse six, the Lord execute us. or appointeth, or accomplish,
and bestows, the Lord executeth for us two things we must have,
righteousness and judgment. Righteousness and judgment. Of
all his people that are oppressed by sin, righteousness and judgment. Where do we get righteousness
from? Christ is our righteousness. He is the Lord, our righteousness. He accomplished righteousness
for us by his obedient life and his sacrificial death. He accomplished righteousness
for us and then judgment. Our sins have been taken care
of. There is therefore now no judgment
to those who are in Christ. I'm not worried about the day
of judgment. I'm not worried about standing
before God Almighty in the day of judgment. My sins have already
been judged, and I stand in Him. He's gonna present His people
holy, unblameable, unreprovable in God's sight. That gives this sinner hope,
does it not? Verse seven says, he made known his ways to Moses,
his acts, and to the children of Israel. Every time I read
that verse, I think of a story. You don't mind if I tell this
story, do you? Back in the 1950s or so, a young preacher by the name
of Mahan, Henry Mahan, was young in the faith, having just learned
the gospel, and he was sitting next to an old preacher by the
name of Rob Barnard, and they were sitting in a church service
before the service began, and Barnard opened up his Bible to
this verse, and he said, Mahan, he said, have you ever noticed
verse seven of Psalm 103? Brother Henry said, well, I've
read that Psalm. But he said, he always called
him Mahan. Didn't call him brother, he called
him Mahan. Didn't call him Henry, called
him Mahan. He said, Mahan, did you ever
notice where it said he made his ways known unto Moses? His ways of mercy, ways of peace,
his ways of long-suffering and gentleness, and his acts, his
judgment unto the children of Israel. He made known his ways
to Moses his servant, but his acts of judgment to the children
of Israel. Verse eight, the Lord is merciful. The Lord is, the Lord is good. I did a study one time, reading
through the Bible everything what it says the Lord is. The
Lord is long-suffering. The Lord is love. The Lord is
good. THE LORD IS GRACIOUS, THE LORD
IS LOVE, THE LORD IS MERCIFUL. NOW, HIS MERCY IS SOVEREIGN MERCY,
RIGHT? EXODUS 33 SAYS, GOD SAID, I WILL
HAVE MERCY. WHEN MOSES SAID, SHOW ME YOUR
GLORY, REMEMBER HE SAID, I'LL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE
MERCY? THE LORD IS MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS. HIS MERCY IS SOVEREIGN
MERCY. HE SAID, I WILL HAVE MERCY. but
I will have mercy on whom I will. And I will be gracious, but I
will show grace to whom I will. That's what we call sovereign
mercy and sovereign grace. That is the only mercy and grace
that's revealed in the word of God. Sovereign mercy. Sovereign grace and because God
is merciful to his covenant people He slowed anger and he's plenteous
in mercy. He's plenteous in mercy all those
years Before we met the Lord in saving mercy when we didn't
know him He was still merciful to us before
we knew him and And one day he taught us the gospel. The Lord
is plenteous in mercy. I mean, he has a storehouse that can never be exhausted.
His mercies are new every day. He's plenteous in mercy. Verse
nine, he will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger
forever. Verse 10, he hath not dealt with
us after our sins. Oh, he dealt with our sins, but
how'd he deal with our sin? In Christ. He bear, Christ, the
Lord Jesus, bear our sin in his own body on the tree. He had
not dealt with our sins in our person, but in our substitute,
the Lord Jesus. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT
THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE. HE NOT REWARDED US ACCORDING
TO OUR INIQUITIES. REMEMBER, HE FORGIVETH ALL THINE
INIQUITIES. VERSE 11, FOR AS THE HEAVEN IS HIGH ABOVE
THE EARTH, SO GREAT IS HIS MERCY THEM THAT FEAR HIM. HIS MERCY IS HIGHER THAN THE
HEAVENS. YOU REMEMBER READING EPHESIANS
CHAPTER 2, GOD TELLS US EVERYTHING WE ARE BY NATURE, CHILDREN OF
WRATH EVEN AS OTHERS, AND THEN IT SAYS, BUT GOD WHO IS rich
in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when
we were dead in sin, so great is his mercy toward them that
fear him. And fearing him is synonymous
with believing him. So he said to Abraham, when he
went to kill Isaac, he said, now I know you believe me because
you fear God. Verse 12, as far as the east
is from the west. That's a fur piece, is it not?
How far is that? How far as the east is from the
west? How far is that? Infinite. You can't measure it. As far as the east is from the
west, so far has he removed our transgression from us. Who did it? He did it. He did it. He removed our transgression. FROM US AS FAR AS THE EAST IS
FROM THE WEST. SO MUCH SO THAT THE WORD OF GOD
TEACHES US THAT OUR SINS AND OUR INIQUITIES HE REMEMBERS NO
MORE. THEY'RE CAST INTO THE DEPTHS
OF THE SEA, THE SCRIPTURES TEACH. THEY'RE BLOTTED OUT AS A THICK
CLOUD. THEY'RE CAST BEHIND HIS BACK, WHEREVER THAT IS, AS FAR
AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST. THAT'S INFINITE. East never meets
West. It just goes and goes and goes. That's good news, is it not?
Verse 13, like as the father pities his children, so the Lord
pities them that fear him. He is long-suffering, he is kind
and gentle, and he knows our frame. You know, a father, a
wise father, 35, 40 years old, has a little toddler
running around the house and crawling around the house. That
father doesn't expect a whole lot out of that child, does he?
That little kid that's crawling around on the floor and just
getting in everything and mischief, and he doesn't know any better.
But the father and the mama, they know he's just a baby. THE LORD KNOWS OUR FRAME. HE REMEMBERS JUST EXACTLY WHAT
WE ARE, SINNERS, SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. I AM WHAT I AM
BY THE GRACE OF GOD. AS FOR THIS FLESH, MAN'S DAYS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE GRASS, LIKE
THE FLOWER. IT BLOOMS FOR A LITTLE BIT, And
then the wind, the heat comes, the age come, and it's gone.
That's just flesh, it's gone. I guess that's where you get
that old phrase, he's a goner. He's a goner, it's gone. It's
gone. And the place to rub will know
it no more. Walk out in the cemetery, there's
his place, there's his body. what's left of the flesh, put
it in the ground. God said, back to the dust, it'll
go. And that's where this flesh is
headed. But thank God, we have a resurrection hope too, don't
we? But verse 17, the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting
to everlasting upon them that fear him. He keeps saying, can
keep coming back to that to those that fear him. His people believe
him. The mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. And his righteousness
unto the children's children. He gives us salvation and righteousness,
and he never takes it back. It goes on. It's continual imputation
of righteousness to his people. BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE
LORD, YOU EVER NOTICE THE TENSE OF THAT WORD? BLESSED IS THE
MAN TO WHOM THE LORD IMPUTETH, IMPUTETH, IMPUTETH. DID YOU NOTICE
THESE WORDS UP HERE? FORGIVETH, HEALETH, SATISFIETH. CONTINUAL, CONTINUAL, CONTINUAL. CONTINUAL. HE SAVED US WITH AN
EVERLASTING SALVATION. NOW, VERSE 18, NOTICE THIS. HE MENTIONS HIS COVENANT, HIS MERCY IS TO HIS COVENANT
PEOPLE, TO SUCH AS KEEP HIS COVENANT, AND THOSE THAT REMEMBER HIS COMMANDMENTS,
NOT TO JUST LOOK AT THEM, BUT DO THEM. OH, WAIT A MINUTE NOW,
PREACHER. OH, WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
I CANNOT KEEP THE LAW OF GOD. OH, YOU'RE RIGHT. I can't keep
the covenant of the law. Oh, you're right, you can't.
Who is that person that keepeth his covenant and that doeth his
commandments? The Lord Jesus Christ. Our salvation
is based upon his faithfulness, not ours. We've kept the law
in Christ. He's honored the law of God for
us to such as keep his covenant. He's the covenant surety. He's
the covenant mediator. He's the covenant sacrifice.
Verse 19, the Lord prepared his throne in the heavens. Brother Henry's got a good message
on this one verse. 103 verse 19. It's on sermon audio. You can
find it and listen to it. The Lord has prepared his throne
in the heavens. His throne's high above. It's
high and lifted up and his kingdom His reign ruleth over all. God rules in heaven, right? Where
else does He rule? In earth and all deep places.
He rules and reigns everywhere. In creation, He's sovereign.
In providence, He is sovereign. In salvation, He is sovereign.
Now, verse 20, bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. My soul all that
is within me bless his holy name bless the Lord You his angels
that excel in strength, and it's His strength, that do His bidding,
His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His words,
all the angels, what they call the elect angels and the fallen
angels, they all do His bidding. They all accomplish His purpose. Why? His throne is in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. Now bless the Lord, verse 21.
All ye his host. That's what the host of the heavenly
angels said when the Lord Jesus was born in the flesh. Glory
to God in the highest on earth, good peace, goodwill toward men. Bless you the Lord, all ye his
host. Ye ministers of his that do his
pleasure. What is the pleasure of the Lord
CONCERNING THE MINISTRY, WE PREACH NOT OURSELVES, BUT THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, AND OURSELVES, YOUR SERVANTS, FOR HIS SAKE. IT'S THE MINISTRY
THAT HE'S GIVEN TO US. BLESS THE LORD, VERSE 22. BLESS THE LORD NOW, ALL HIS WORKS
IN ALL PLACES, ALL PLACES OF HIS DOMINION, His dominion is
an everlasting dominion. Bless the Lord. We'll go right
back to where we started. Verse one, the last part of verse
22, bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless
His holy name. The revelation, goes this way,
blessing, honor, glory, and power be unto Him that set us upon
the throne and unto the Lamb forever and ever. Bless the Lord, O my soul. That's our occupation and desire
now, and it will be forever, right? Around His throne, worshiping
the Lord.
