Follow Christ Not For What He Can Give You, But For What He Has Already Given To You

Psalm 103  1
Bless the LORD, O my soul, * and all that is within me, bless his holy Name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, * and forget not all his benefits. 3 He forgives all your sins * and heals all your infirmities; 4 He redeems your life from the grave * and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness; 5 He satisfies you with good things, * and your youth is renewed like an eagle's. 6 The LORD executes righteousness * and judgment for all who are oppressed. 7 He made his ways known to Moses * and his works to the children of Israel. 8 The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, * slow to anger and of great kindness. 9 He will not always accuse us, * nor will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, * nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, * so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, * so far has he removed our sins from us. 13 As a father cares for his children, * so does the LORD care for those who fear him. 14 For he himself knows whereof we are made; * he remembers that we are but dust. 15 Our days are like the grass; * we flourish like a flower of the field; 16 When the wind goes over it, it is gone, * and its place shall know it no more. 17 But the merciful goodness of the LORD  endures for ever on those who fear him, * and his righteousness on children's children; 18 On those who keep his covenant * and remember his commandments and do them. 19 The LORD has set his throne in heaven, * and his kingship has dominion over all. 20 Bless the LORD, you angels of his, you mighty ones who do his bidding, * and hearken to the voice of his word. 21 Bless the LORD, all you his hosts, * you ministers of his who do his will. 22 Bless the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; * bless the LORD, O my soul.
