Praise the Lord for His Benefits

May 1 2015

In Psalm 103 David blessed the Lord with his entire being. He told himself that he should praise God for the wonderful benefits that the Lord had bestowed upon him.

Likewise, we should praise God for all of His wonderful benefits and we should never forget them. Not too long ago, I had my identity stolen. As I pondered what to do after several credit cards were opened, I remembered that my homeowner’s policy had a Theft Identity benefit. I contacted my insurance carrier and once I verified my coverage, they took the necessary action to contact the credit bureaus, write letters, and monitor all of the activity on my credit reports. If I had not remembered this benefit, I would have tried to do everything myself.

It is the same way with God. He has given us benefits, but we have to remember that they are available to us. One of the major benefits He gives to us is the forgiveness of our sins. We have all missed the mark, but God makes it possible through His Son Jesus to have our sins removed. It is as if they never existed.

It is hard for us to phantom how this can happen, but God in His sovereignty makes it possible. We are so used to doing things ourselves that we are programmed into thinking that there is something that we must do. However, the Word of God tells us that when we were yet sinners, God commended His love towards us. All we have to do is confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts. Then God sees us as new creatures. He never looks back as the old man, but He focuses on the new man. What a benefit!

God has provided us with many other benefits. Let’s make sure that we become familiar with them and praise Him for them each and every day.
