God the Father

How can someone possibly describe the infinite, all-knowing, transcendent God?

How can someone possibly put into words his majesty, power, and glory?

How can someone possibly speak of his immeasurable love and faithfulness?

Sometimes only songs or poems can do the job.

The collection of ancient songs in the Bible, the book of Psalms, is focused on one thing: Yahweh, the one true God, who is worthy of all our praise.

Let all that I am praise the LORD. With my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. (Psalm 103:1)

Read & Reflect

Listen to someone read Psalm 103. (You could listen to it on Streetlights Bible. Download the free app, choose Old Testament, then the specific book/chapter.) Then read the Psalm for yourself. As you listen and read, write down the following things:

• God’s actions and character
• Poetic images of God
• Human character and needs
• How do you praise and worship the Lord when alone? with others?
• How have you experienced God’s love, forgiveness, and tender compassion?
• Copy Psalm 103 into your journal. Copy all the words just as they are, but format it any way you want with different colors, different styles, different sizes, different spacing, designs, and more.
