GOD’S BENEFITS

In Psalm 103 David writes about the benefits of those that have chosen to follow God through salvation. These benefits are ours.

The first thing to receive these benefits is found in verses 1 and 2 where it says, “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.

We are to continuously bless the Lord for all that he has done. Then we are to remember his benefits. God wants to bless us as we bless him. It is the law of sowing and reaping.

The next thing to remember is in verse 3 where it says, “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities...” The word iniquities in the Hebrew means, “perversity, evil, mischief, sin.”

Yes, when we invite Christ into our lives he forgives us of our sin. What a wonderful thing to know that you can walk in forgiveness when you repent!

Verses 3 continues with, “…who healeth all thy diseases.” That promise is ours to believe and to receive. ALL means ALL our diseases no matter what they are. This promise is also received by faith in God and His word. Every sickness, disease known and unknown are included in this promise.

Verse 4 continues with, “Who redeemeth thy life from destruction…” This promise guarantees that we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus and will never be destroyed in hell. What a wonderful promise of eternal life with Jesus through salvation.

Verse 4 continues with, “…who crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” God puts a crown on your head, which is the crown of life, and has mercy towards those that have put their trust in him.

Verse 5 is a wonderful promise for longevity and strength. It reads, “Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

These promises are ours to receive by faith my friend. Read them over yourself daily, and expect God to bring them to pass. Do not ever forget His benefits!
