Psalm 103:1 AMPC
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and ALL that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
As blood coarses around our physical being, keeping us alive, so the External Cosmic Unseen "blood stream" of Jesus flows constantly around the Cosmos, supporting, nurturing and enlivening all things...
Colossians 1:17 AMPC
And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
As I look out into the garden and gaze at the trees, plants and flowers, the miracle of Jesus' life force is causing growth and blossoming - amazing!
Whether or not we acknowledge and serve Him, He still lends us our breath and grants us freedom and free will:
Acts 17:24-25,28 AMPC
The God Who produced and formed the world and all things in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade shrines. [25] Neither is He served by human hands, as though He lacked anything, for it is He Himself Who gives life and breath and all things to all [people]. [28] For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
The response of my heart this morning is to bless the Lord. I am amazed that He should set His love on me:
1 John 3:1 NLT
See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know Him.
You are invited by the Living, All Powerful Lord to come join the family simply by coming to Jesus with your whole heart...
Bless the Lord O my soul!
