Psalm 103:1-5. NKJV
The benefits of God are never ending and come on a daily basis. He likes to show His children just our much He loves us, each day. The benefits that the world offer are temporary. If a person is on welfare, their benefits can be frozen in an instant, leaving them with nothing to live on. God's benefits are always there. They're constant and can be relied on.
Let's take a little time to check out the benefits within this Psalm:
FORGIVENESS
Whatever we have done or may do, as we confess this (our sins) to God, He forgives us and also chooses to forget about them entirely. (1 John 1:9). The world may offer you something similar but there will be conditions, 'I'll forgive you this time, but if you do it again....' 'You're on a warning; do this again and you're out.' The world does not forget - God chooses to. He's Our forever friend.
You may remember some of the things that you have done, and they may flag up guilt or regret. Listen, if you have asked God to forgive you, then you're forgiven. Give yourself a break and accept this forgiveness. God has forgotten about it, you do the same. You can't be free until you do. Let me spell it out for you, YOU ARE FORGIVEN!
HEALING
God's Word says that you WERE healed by the stripes of Jesus. This is where you have to allow your faith to kick in and ignore statements such as, 'God doesn't always heal people.' That is wrong. God heals today - He's already done it! We have to get into God's time scale and realise that the symptoms may still be there but with faith, we believe that He has healed us. God's time scale is different to ours. With Him, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day. (2 Peter 3:8). Time has ceased and we need to flow in this. If God has said we are healed, then we are. Some are healed instantly; others, their healing comes over a certain time. But we have to receive it, believe it and keep on confessing it. If you doubt, you'll go without. Look at it this way. You may buy an item of furniture from a store but you have to wait for it to be made or perhaps delivered. You have paid for it, it's yours but you haven't got it yet. You have to wait for the delivery. You don't doubt that it is coming and in the same way you shouldn't doubt that you've been healed. There is a waiting period for some.
REDEEMS
We were on our way to destruction, because without Jesus there is no hope. (John 3:16-18). But as we called on Jesus, He redeemed us - He paid the price for our sin by dying on the cross in our place. He rescued us from destruction.
Redemption means, to buy back and pay off. He redeemed us from the curse (Galatians 3:13-14). In other words, He set us free and gave us everlasting life. And He redeems us from our mistakes each and every day. We make some blunders, let's be honest and at times we make a spectacle of ourselves. However, as we ask God to help us, He is there; as we ask Him to forgive us again, He is there. He redeems us from the destruction of our errors. He also redeems us from certain dangerous situations in our lives.
We've looked at three of God's benefits here. Tomorrow, we'll look at three more. Read the scriptures again and put yourself in this position. Speak it out aloud, putting your name in there. Praise God for each and everything. Worship Him and show Him your gratitude that He gives you wonderful, Heavenly benefits on a daily basis.
