Psalm 103 gives us a divine record of how to offer praise and thanksgiving to our God. King David’s words outline for us how we can come to the throne of grace and give God thanks. Everything within us, all of the passion within us, our entire being, should be aimed at praising God.
In this psalm, King David prompts believers to recognize the character of God and to respond in praise and adoration. At the same time, David desires that believers show extreme gratitude and thanksgiving that they’ve experienced in God’s kindness.
This psalm and all of Scripture teach that God’s goodness is inherently who He is. God’s goodness isn’t part of who He is—it is who He is! And because of this unchanging reality, God expresses His goodness towards His people as a reflection of His character.
Because of God’s grace, believers can be completely forgiven of all their sins through the work of Jesus Christ. This reality is the heart of the gospel message—that people cannot save themselves but must put their faith in Jesus Christ.
