KINGDOM BENEFITS
By Pastor Tim Hodge
Psalms 103:2, NKJV – “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”
This past week I spent a couple of days meditating and praying in Psalms 103. During one of these sessions I felt drawn to the phrase: “…and forget not ALL His benefits.” In this the Psalmist is emphatically pointing to two things: First, the Kingdom of God releases benefits in our lives. Second, we must remember and passionately engage every one of these benefits.
What exactly is a ‘benefit’? Dictionary.com defines a ‘benefit’ as “something that is advantageous or good; an advantage.” Benefit comes from the Latin word ‘benefactum’ which means “good deed”.
With these thoughts in mind, I began to write a list of some of the ‘benefits’ our heavenly Father affords to us. Here is a non-exhaustive list I want to share with you: Healing; Provision; Peace of mind; Victory in life; Hope; Promise; Purpose; Destiny; Abundance; Fulfillment; Wholesome relationships; Wisdom; Knowledge; Revelation; Power; The ability to walk and talk with God, our Creator and Redeemer; Creativity; Genius; Mission to share the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ; Protection; Guidance; Righteousness; Forgiveness; Freedom from the power of sin and death; Restoration of things lost; JOY unspeakable and full of glory.
Bless the Lord! Walk in His benefits designed for us… in the HERE and the NOW.
