"Who daily loads us with benefits"


One of the things I have always tried to do is show what the benefits are to asking Jesus to lead our lives.  Going to Heaven is all well and good but its something that is a bit off in the future.  For those of us who are a bit more pragmatic, we want to know what's in it for us right now?  

Well how is this for a what's in it for us right now benefit?

Psalms 68:19(NKJV)
19    Blessed be the Lord,      Who daily loads us with benefits,     The God of our salvation! Selah

What does God do for us?  He loads us with benefits.  Now does the term load mean He gives us a thing or two?  Or does load us with benefits mean He gives us lots of benefits? 

Here is where it gets even better.  How often does He load us with benefits?  Daily!!!  It's not like the benefits of a life with Jesus run out.  He reloads our benefits cart daily!

What are those benefits?  Having a personal relationship with Jesus.  Knowing that Jesus has your back and is guiding your life to conform to the life God has planned for you.  Experiencing the peace that surpasses all understanding.  And most importantly giving you the assurances of eternal life with God.

So how do you get these benefits?  Easy.  Simply ask Jesus to come into your life and guide you.  Invite Him to be your Lord and Savior.  Have a conversation with Jesus.  "Dear Jesus…"

  1. I remember a long time ago, you learned, and passed onto us, to start your morning off with thanking God. I think you have a reminder posted in your shower? Every morning when I'm getting ready and showering, I spend that time just thanking God for everything He has blessed me with! It makes it hard to have a "bad" morning when you realize everything God has given you!
