I'm currently reflecting on Psalm 103 for my Lectio Divina study. This morning I reflected on this section:
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
And forget not all his benefits
Who forgives all your sins
And heals all your diseases
As I reflected, one word jumped out at me. It's the word that is repeated the most in the passage: all. All his benefits. Forgives all my sins. Heals all my diseases.
I wrote next to this passage in my Bible: There's nothing about me God can't fix.
And I started thinking about the description of God as "All in All." As I seek to have God define me, I've started a craft project that I add to each day. On a piece of foam board, I write "Because God is..." and fill it in with something that struck me from my Bible reading. Then I glue a small 2 inch craft mirror to it and write on the mirror "I am..."
For today's I wrote, "Because God is my all in all...I am complete." I lack in nothing because of all of God's benefits in my life. He has forgiven all of my sins. He has healed all of my diseases. I am complete in him.
