1 Chronicles Thanksgiving

2Ch 7:14  and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I'll be there ready for you: I'll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health.

Psa 103:1  A David psalm. O my soul, bless GOD. From head to toe, I'll bless his holy name!

Psa 103:2  O my soul, bless GOD, don't forget a single blessing!

Psa 103:3  He forgives your sins--every one. He heals your diseases--every one.

Psa 103:4  He redeems you from hell--saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy--a paradise crown.

Psa 103:5  He wraps you in goodness--beauty eternal. He renews your youth--you're always young in his presence.

Psa 103:6  GOD makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet.

Psa 103:7  He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel.

Psa 103:8  GOD is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love.

Psa 103:9  He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.

Psa 103:10  He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.

Psa 103:11  As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.

Psa 103:12  And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.

Psa 103:13  As parents feel for their children, GOD feels for those who fear him.

Psa 103:14  He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud.

Psa 103:15  Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,

Psa 103:16  But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here.

Psa 103:17  GOD's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children

Psa 103:18  as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said.

Psa 103:19  GOD has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He's the King!

Psa 103:20  So bless GOD, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says.

Psa 103:21  Bless GOD, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills.

Psa 103:22  Bless GOD, all creatures, wherever you are-- everything and everyone made by GOD. And you, O my soul, bless GOD!   The Message
