EPHESIANS 1:
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling,
...and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power,
| DAY 31—Blessing the Lord Who Forgives and Heals |

Psalm 103:1-5I have recently entered the "fourth quarter" of my life. How exciting! I'm rejoicing in new found strength everyday. As I told, a few days back, the Lord spoke to me, very clearly, from Psalm 103. We have already considered it somewhat, but let us see it again. No matter what quarter of life you are in, it carries a powerful Word for you. We place some icons throughout the passage to emphasize exactly what the Lord will do in us—and for us. The icons are little symbols of a road that leads us to what David called green pastures in Psalm 23:2.
Bless the LORD, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
* Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
* who healeth all thy diseases;
* Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
* Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
* Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Righteousness, Judgment, Loving-Kindness, and MercyMY DEAR LORD, I bless You. I bless Your holy Name. I open myself to the benefits You give. Help me keep them ever before me that I not grow cold in my love for You. You have REDEEMED my life from destruction. All that I am and have is now Yours. You bought me with Your own blood. Please use me for Your Kingdom's sake.
