Matt Redman had Psalm 103 on his mind when he penned the song
10,000 Reasons.
Psalm 103:1 "Bless the LORD, O my soul ,,, bless His holy name!"
The Psalm goes on to list reasons that God's name deserves our blessing.
God gives us a powerfully packed list of His very own reasons that our hearts can sing!
1) He forgives all sins
2) Heals diseases
3) Redeems lives from the pit
4) Loving
5) Merciful
6) Gives good things
7) Renews your youth
8) Righteous
9) Just
10) Makes His ways known
11) Compassionate
12) Gracious
13) Slow to anger
14) Will one day end His anger
15) Understanding
16) Keeps His promises
17) Rules over all
18) Established His throne
19) Everlasting
20) Knows us
If I inspected the chapter closer, I'm sure I could find more. The fact that He is God, the one true and living God is reason enough to bless His holy name, but He goes on to give us lots more reasons. And most of those reasons are benefits given directly to us! "Forget not all His benefits." (vs 2)
