Benefits!

There are so many ways that people get benefits in the hour that we live. There are Veteran benefits, welfare benefits, Unemployment benefits, Social Security benefits, retirement benefits, employment benefits, insurance benefits, etc. These all are really a tremendous help when needed as they help bear the burden. But the question that I have before us is, do we see the benefits that come from the Heavenly Father who loves his children. A great verse in the Bible that speaks of benefits is found in Psalm 68:19 which says, "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah." It says daily loads us with benefits. This word benefits speaks of the burdens that God bears on our behalf. Have we noticed some of the benefits that have been given to us this day? You know, like our daily bread, peace, love, joy, safety, security, forgiveness, that still small voice that speaks to us, the assurance of salvation, just to mention a few. When you read this, take a moment to access what benefits God has given you today, and pause and give Him thanks.
