Recently I started out my day reading Psalm 103, a truly encouraging and uplifting passage, and one thing that popped out at me was the phrase in verse 2 "forget not His benefits".
Yes, my life (especially at end of term) may be full of stress, frustration, deadlines, pain, challenges, but this verse reminded me to remember all the wonderful things too! Thinking back over this week I can think of plenty of His benefits that have affected my life, and made each day a bit better and easier to get through. May I truly bless the Lord with my soul, and forget not how great my wonderful God and Father is who daily loads me with benefits!
I miss your refreshing look at the Scripture you are reading. I was reading Deuteronomy 9 the other day. Reading verse 1 made me realize how great it would have been to hear those words, "Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven." After wandering for 40 years in the dessert what a relief and joy it would be to hear those words from God!!
