Don’t Forget His Benefits
Don’t Forget His Benefits
Don’t forget His benefits because His benefits are awesome and they belong to you. When it comes to our jobs we are keenly aware of every “benefit” that we have as an employee; health insurance, retirement options, life insurance, disability insurance, how many vacation days & holidays we get, etc. We monitor and track these benefits closely. We never forget them and we make sure to use them all.
Do you pay the same attention to the benefits you’ve been given from the Lord? Are you fully aware of all the benefits that belong to you? You see, the benefits you don’t know about or the ones you forget are benefits you won’t receive and enjoy. God has given you many benefits. The Word of God is filled with promises for you. They are yours as a member of the family of God. But the only way to take advantage of those benefits is to find out what God’s Word has to say about them and then believe to receive them. You must continually remember them and remember to act on those promises in your everyday life. Don’t forget His benefits!
6 Benefits for You
Psalms 103:1-5 reminds us of this very thing, “… Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Not only are we reminded not to forget ALL His benefits, but we are reminded of 6 specific incredible benefits, I call them “MY DIVINE BENEFIT PACKAGE”. They include-
- Forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of your benefits. Notice He forgives ALL your sins, not just some of them. To enjoy this benefit you have to receive it and not forget it.
- Healing. You were healed by the stripes of Jesus over 2000 years ago. (1Peter 2:24) Healing is a benefit that belongs to you. Notice it says ALL of your diseases. Receive your healing now and don’t forget it.
- Protection. God’s divine protection is one of His benefits. He will deliver you from destruction. He is your refuge and fortress. (Psalms 91:2) It is important not to forget His protection for you and to stay under His might shadow.
- Favor. God will crown you with His favor. He surrounds you with favor like a shield. (Psalms 5:12) Don’t forget you have favor with God and man every day.
- Provision. God is Jehovah Jireh your provider. (Genesis 22:14) He will supply all your needs. (Philippians 4:19) Remember to keep God first and to trust Him for your provision. Always remember God will provide!
- Long life. One of His benefits is to satisfy you with long life. (Psalms 91:16) He will renew your strength daily and lift you up. (Isaiah 40:310) Never forget He is the source of life!
These are all precious gifts from the Lord to you, and it brings Him great joy when He sees you enjoying His benefits and succeeding in life. I encourage you to remember YOUR DIVINE BENEFIT PACKAGE and all the benefits that belong to you and make sure to use them. Don’t forget His benefits!
