Daily Benefits

"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation."  Psalm 68:19.  How are you feeling today?    Perhaps, you are not doing so well.  You are having some problems that seem to be ruining your day.  Are you counting your troubles or counting your benefits?  Sometimes we choose to see the negatives rather than the positives.  This passage of scripture teaches us about the benefits from God that come to us daily.  We awoke this morning with another day of opportunity to do good.  God sends the rain and fruitful seasons.  The sun and the clouds are all the work of God.  The beauty of the earth surrounds us with the sure knowledge of His goodness.  God supplies our daily need.  We know that He is a source of comfort and peace.  He has allowed me the privilege of access already this day in prayer.  God has spoken to me in His word and my faith has grown.  The greatest of His benefits to us is His salvation.  God saves us from sin, but He also saves us from trouble and despair.  As you find yourself in some difficulty, count your benefits.  Take a moment to meditate on the benefits that have come from the God of our salvation.  Now, isn't that better?
