Observation: The psalmist goes on to list all the wonderful things the Lord does for 'me' ... he forgives my sin and thus ransoms me from hell instead of giving me the punishment I deserve, even removing my sin as far away from me as possible; he heals me and thus keeps me strong and healthy; he gives me his love, kindness, and mercy, and is tender and loving and slow to anger against me even when I deserve his wrath; he fills my life with good things and with his blessings, overseeing justice; he extends all of these things to anyone who fears him; and he revealed all this to us by showing Moses and Israel his plans.
Application: These are the promises the Lord has for me and for all believers. He blesses those who love him with a wonderful life, and not just randomly. He has told us what to do, and why, and how he will love us. All I have to do is believe in the Lord and follow his path, and he will love me because that is his very nature.
Prayer: Lord, I lean into your love and goodness today. May I live in your will, and trust in all your plans and ways and words, forever. Amen.
