Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Reading this verse caused me to stop and consider some of the many benefits God abundantly gives us every day.
Jesus asked the Father to give us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the
Spirit of truth to live in us. The Holy Spirit daily helps us in
various ways, including leading us, guiding us, teaching us, interceding
for us, and bringing us a word from God needed at a specific time.
John 14:16 (Jesus said ..) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the
Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come.
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but
the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the
mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things
of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of
God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Any time, day or night, we can call on God to help us and He
will answer us. By His help we are saved from our enemies, including
snares of the devil.
Psalm 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in
trouble;
Psalm 121:2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.

God knows our needs and supplies what we need.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought,
saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal
shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles
seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.
Even when the children of Israel were in the
wilderness for 40 years after God delivered them from Egypt, God had a
way to daily provide for them ....
Exodus 16:14 And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small
round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. 15 And when the
children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for
they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread
which the Lord hath given you to eat. 16 This is the
thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to
his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your
persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. 17 And the
children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 18 And
when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing
over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man
according to his eating. .... 35 And the children of Israel did eat
manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat
manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the
wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is
not waxen old upon thy foot.

Wisdom is from God. If we lack wisdom and ask of God, we are promised that we will be given wisdom liberally, if we ask in faith ...
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him
ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and
it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

God's mercy and compassion toward us are new every morning ...
Lamentations 3:22 It is of the Lord 's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
These are some of the many benefits that God gives daily to His children, those who are led by the Spirit of God .... For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.(Romans 8:14).
