The kids and I were sitting down having our daily afternoon chat, and all I was hearing from them that day were a list of things they still yet to have. I couldn’t believe my ears! I told them to look around at all that they DO have. They have much!!!
Soon after talking with them, God in His kindness reminded me that I am totally just like them. I find reasons to complain, not be content, and always looking for more.
The Lord brought me to a passage in Psalm 103:1-5
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who satisfies your [a]years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who satisfies your [a]years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
He reminded me NOT to forget all of His benefits that I now have in Christ.
1. I am forgiven
2. My health is in His hands
3. Redeemed from hell
4. Loved and recipient of His compassion
5. Satisfies my physical body with good things
Indeed I am rich…in Christ!
