Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Today has been fairly quiet and when I first read this verse I hadn't
been thinking of being loaded with benefits from God. Then I started
being reminded of some of the benefits God has given me today. I truly
am loaded with benefits from God, as are all who are chosen by Him and
born again.
- God wants us to turn to Him with each things we encounter, each care,
each decision ... and He helps us. Several times as I've gone about my
way throughout today I have asked God to show me what to do.
One
example is as I was preparing for a neighbor's dog which is recovering from
surgery to stay at my house for a few days. I asked God to help me
with the preparations. As I prepared bedding for the dog to sleep on, I
started to get a blanket but then had the thought to wrap a thick towel
in a soft sheet so fibers from the blanket would not get caught in the
dog's stitches. After the dog got here, I found that each thing needed
was prepared and worked well.
- God provides all of my needs. As I look around at my life, I lack nothing and even have abundance. I have plenty of food and clothing. My house is very comfortable and my car runs well. Everything I need for my animals is available. There is no want in any way.
- The Holy Spirit lives in me. I am never alone for God has given me
His Spirit living in me, guiding me and teaching me, such as drawing my
attention to Psalm 68:19 and reminding me of some of the benefits God
has given me today.
- God gives us His word showing us His ways and strengthening us. Each day I'm able to spend time reading and
meditating in the Bible and messages on the blog. The Holy Spirit often
brings thoughts to my mind giving me God's word to me in a matter.
Sometimes I'm given a dream giving me needed information.
These are some of the many benefits God gives to each of us daily.
