0:00.0	What's up, what's up? Incredible, loved, and value people. I am so thankful that you were born. I'm so
0:14.2	thankful for your life. My name is Emma Mae McDaniel. Welcome to the compelled podcast where together we are being encouraged and equipped
0:23.0	to boldly live out our faith in Jesus. Friends, I don't know if you've read Psalm 103 in a while,
0:29.9	but it is so refreshing to the soul. And so I want to refresh your soul today. Psalm 103, David is the
0:36.9	psalmist and he goes, bless the Lord, oh my soul.
0:41.6	And all that is within me, every part of me, my heart, my body, my soul, my mind, I choose to bless
0:50.2	his holy name and forget not all his benefits. Take note of that. He doesn't just say I'm going
0:58.7	to declare all of his benefits. He's saying don't forget his benefits. And he goes on to say
1:06.4	some of what they are, that he has healed my diseases, that he has forgiven me of my sins,
1:13.3	that he has crowned me with love and tender mercies, that he has redeemed my life from the pit,
1:20.9	that he has renewed my youth like the eagles, he satisfies my desires with good things. He is a good God. Bless the Lord of my soul,

1:47.5	things and I'm not even talking about on a soul eternal level. I'm also just talking about the day
1:53.1	to day. It's why we make grocery lists. It's why we mark things in our calendars. It's why we
1:59.9	turn to the person next to us on the way to a party and say, hey, don't let
2:03.7	me forget to tell so-and-so this, because it's just easy for us to forget.
2:09.6	But like I said, and like David also points out, on a soul level, on an eternal level,
2:16.0	it's easy for us to forget. And today I'm specifically talking
2:19.9	about the fact that it's easy for you and I to forget our purpose. It's easy for us to get
2:26.4	for to forget why we're here, to forget the reason why God handcrafted us, why he made us, why he placed us on the earth at the time that he did.
2:38.3	And this forgetfulness can come up in different ways. It comes up when our five-year plan isn't panning
