This morning a Psalm was ringing in my spirit. It says, bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits... (Psalm 103:2) Have you really thought about the benefits that you receive from serving the Lord? Have you pondered on all of the things you are privy to as His beloved child?
I was thinking about them this morning.
Just being able to have joy in my heart and a smile on my lips is a benefit. There are so many people who have no joy. There are numerous folks who can't figure out a reason to smile or be happy. And not all of them are in trouble or facing problems. They simply don't have joy.
Or, how about the fact that we get the benefit of the Comforter, the Holy Spirit? When we have questions, are troubled, or need direction, He is there to help guide and direct us. He is there to help us understand the ways of God helping us to grow in our faith. All we have to do is make ourselves available to Him and the Holy Spirit is right there to gird us up.
We also get the benefit of prayer. We get to approach God's throne and talk about anything we want to. Large or small, pressing or seemingly 'unimportant', God is interested in it all. He hears us every time we speak to Him. Isn't that amazing?
What are some of the benefits that you enjoy about being a child of God? What things that He has given us do you hold most dear? Take some time today to give thanks to the Lord for His many blessings and benefits that He has granted to us His children.
Verse of the Day: Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits... Psalm 103:1, 2
