"His Benefits"

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah." Psalm 68:19

When we come to Christ and receive Him as Savior and Lord, we become part of His family- His children. Being in His family entitles us to certain benefits. When we think of benefits, we usually think in terms of financial- monetary blessings. There are financial blessings that He sends our way in order to meet our needs or be a blessing to others. But financial blessings are such a small part of the benefits that God provides for us.

Some of the benefits He loads us with are peace- peace with Him, peace when we are in confusion, His very own peace is imparted to us. Strength is another benefit- His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Another benefit is that He will never leave us nor forsake us, He's a friend that sticks closer than a brother, He's a very present help in time of trouble, He will lift us up when we are cast down, He will be with us in the fire, in the wilderness, in the floods and when we face the giants. Comfort in our time of sorrow, joy for mourning, health and healing, the lifting of our heads when we are drained by our emotions, guidance to know which way to go and what to do- these are all benefits. Other benefits include wisdom, grace, victory, answers to prayers, powerful weapons to pull down strongholds and defeat our enemies, revelation, understanding-- the list goes on and on.

The scripture above says that He "daily" loads us with benefits. As a child of God, today, these benefits are available to you. Don't go lacking, ask Him to pour His benefits upon whatever it is that you have need of today.

Have a great day. His benefits are for you and He provides them for you everyday.
