Forgetting Our Benefits

This entry was posted on 01-16-2007 and is filed under Devotional.

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits" (Psa. 103:2 NKJV).

If we have benefits coming to us, we don't forget them. Those benefits might be in the form of a bonus, medical coverage, stock dividends, or merely some "perks" that our job offers. We don't forget benefits.

But when it comes to forgetting all of God's benefits, that He showers upon us daily, well, that's another matter! Have you forgotten all His benefits? Look at the list in verses 3-5.
1. He forgives all your inquities. (Think how many that includes!)
2. He heals all your diseases.
3. He redeems your life from destruction. (How many times in your life does that happen? Just in auto travel?)
4.He crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
5. He satisfies your mouth with good things (when was the last time you went to bed hungry?) so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
All this - and heaven too! Tick those five benefits off on your five fingers every day and you will never forget all His benefits!

Song: When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed. When you are discouraged thinking all is lost. Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. (Johnson Oatman)
