Psalm 103:1–Bless the Lord

Psalm 103:1–"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!"

Amen!  That's about all I can say in response to reading this verse. Yes, this is a statement of worship. And yes, it is poetic.  But more than that, this is a prayer; a request that God would grant us a heart and soul that wouldst utterly desire to worship His name.  In truth, this is a central component to the Christian message: that God would transform us in such a way that every part of us would sing out in absolute praise and adoration to His name.

This should be our own prayer, too!

Bless the Lord!
