Write it Down

Psalm 103:1-2 (NLT)
1 Let all that I am praise the LORD;
    with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
2 Let all that I am praise the LORD;
    may I never forget the good things he does for me.

With those two sentences, David opens his praise to God through a psalm.  He calls out for worship at a fully engaged level.  "Let all that I am" he writes.  The king of Israel offers his all in worship to the King of kings.  In the latter part of verse two, David states what he wants never to happen.
Psalm 103:2b (NLT)
. . .may I never forget the good things he does for me.
The king does not want to forget.  He wants to remember all of the good things God does for him.  You and I do well to desire the same.  When you remember what God does for you, you fuel thankfulness.  After David briefly mentions God's generosity, he continues by expressing tangible examples of His giving.
Psalm 103:3-5 (NLT)
3 He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.
4 He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
5 He fills my life with good things.
    My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Picture
Notice what David did.  He wrote things down.  He recorded what God had done for Him.  That is a good habit to develop.  Take time to recall and write the things God does for you.  Times will come when the frustrations of the world will attempt to cloud your memory.  You may allow those clouds to hinder you from remembering the goodness of God.  May that not be.  

If the idea of writing a record of God's goodness to you seems strange, start small.  Begin by thinking about this morning.  What has God done for you in such a relatively short period of time?  Answer that question and then record your response.  Once you have recorded the ways God has been good to you, use what you wrote as a catalyst for worship.  Worship the God who has done great things.

"Great Things"
Songwriters: Jonas Myrin / Phil Wickham

Come let us worship our King
Come let us bow at His feet
He has done great things
See what our Savior has done
See how His love overcomes
He has done great things
He has done great things

Oh, hero of Heaven, You conquer the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom, awake and alive
Oh Jesus, our Savior, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things

You've been faithful through every storm
You'll be faithful forevermore
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is "Yes and Amen"
You will do great things
God, You do great things

Oh, hero of Heaven, You conquer the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom, awake and alive
Oh Jesus, our Savior, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things

Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
You've done great things

Oh, hero of Heaven, You conquer the grave
You free every captive and break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom, awake and alive
Oh Jesus, our Savior, Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things
You have done great things
Oh God, You do great things
