I wonder how long we could talk to the Lord without asking for something. Psalm 103 has no requests. It is nothing but praise; but David is blessing the Lord.

What are some of these benefits David sings about? They are ones we may have forgotten or that we may be taking for granted.

First, the Lord saves (v.3). The last part of that statement is an illustration of the first part. He forgives all our iniquities in the same way He heals the human body. ... God brings saving health to our lives.

Second, He keeps (v.4). He keeps us and protect us from the destruction around us. He puts a crown on our heads and makes us kings.

Third, He satisfies (v.5). In fact, David says God so satisfies us that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The eagle molts, loss it’s old feathers, get a new coat and soars again.

Do you pray to God for the sole purpose of praising Him? You have much for which to praise Him, for His love and care never cease. He saves, keeps and satisfies you. Never take God for granted; always take time to praise Him.
