Giving Thanks to God 2025 Day 4: Let us never forget the Lord’s benefits.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Generally, when people are trying to decide between jobs or other opportunities, great consideration is given to the benefits that come with their choice. Indeed, benefits are important, as they can greatly affect our quality of life.

Yet, when it comes to the Lord, the benefits He offers are often minimized or outright ignored by some, such that their decisions seem to scorn the goodness of God.

The fact is, the Lord has done for us far above what we could have imagined; even now, we only realize a fraction of our benefits from the Lord.

Think of it: The Lord has taken us out of darkness into His glorious light! Talk about a quality of life impact!

“giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.“

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In our opening scripture, the psalmist enumerates several awesome benefits from the Lord:

1. The Lord forgives our sins.

2. The Lord heals our diseases.

3. The Lord redeems our life from destruction.

4. The Lord gives us lovingkindness and mercy.

5. The Lord fills our lives with good things.

6. The Lord gives us strength.

Child of God, it would take the rest of our days to fully extol the Lord’s benefits. He is so good! Let us never, ever forget His benefits. Let us give Him thanks!

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
