DAILY BENEFITS!

Psalm 68:19-20 KJV
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
[20] He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

Have you ever considered the benefits of being a child of God? Have you ever taken counsel or recorded the things you think are part of your package as a believer? See Proverbs 16:1-33.
The things, privileges, opportunities, favours, and blessings we enjoy as Christians are only through Christ and are not deserved according to Psalm 103:10. Try pulling back from your busy life for a few minutes and ponder all that God has done for you and in you. You may be surprised and encouraged by what you discover.
King David counted Israel’s benefits and cites God’s power and his fatherly compassion over them, then erupts in praise in verse 19.
The reason for such a celebration? God’s promise that he “daily loads us with benefits.”
God daily and fully supplies us with all we need. The issues of life and death are under the control, of the God that saves and destroys His and our enemies.
Our text says God daily loads us with benefits.
What is it that he gives us?
What sort of benefits?
We may even use the word benevolence here, which means good wishing. God’s goodness to us is not merely benevolent, in which He wishes us well, but it is beneficence and doing good.
His gifts and benefits are deeds of goodness and acts of goodness. He does us good always. He does not only wish us well, and speak to us well, but directs us well.
Can you think of a benefit you enjoy that came from your own hands and was not gifted to you by the Lord?
Then think of what you are, a Christian, God’s child and a joint-heir with Christ. God says all things are yours, and He guarantees too: preservation to the end, and glory without end after life on earth.
The many mansions mentioned in John 14:2 is for all those who persevered to the end, a reward for their perseverance and faith.
You have a share in all that Christ has, and is, and died for, the choice is yours to count and appropriate them.
God is the one who enables us to keep going today and every day, you can be confident of His concern and powerful care for you.
God’s daily promise to us says;
• I am the Lord.
• I am your Saviour.
• I daily bear your burdens.
In all our hearts, there ought to be a desire to praise God for all He has done for us. Spend time in the Psalms, allow all the wondrous works of the Lord to be revealed to you, and show you that you have so many reasons to praise the Lord.
Allow the psalms to show you all the things about the Lord’s benefits too.
So, we should realize that God daily loads us with wonderful benefits, as He delivers our soul from death, our eyes from tears and our feet from falling according to Psalm 116:8. In this regard, the psalmist proclaims, “What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” in Psalm 116:12. Enjoy all of God’s benefit.
Your salvation is a benefit as well. Praise ye the Lord!
Shalom
