FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS

1. Forget Not All His Benefits

 

Here are a few mindful thoughts, and forget not all His benefits in Psalm 103:2–5:

a) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:

i) The thought about God wanting you to remember all the benefits that Jesus has purchased for you with His blood! It is His heart to see you enjoying every single benefit, every single blessing and every single favor from Him in the new covenant of His grace.

Ephesians 2:8-9

[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, [9] not of works, lest anyone should boast.

@1. who forgives all your iniquities,

i) The thought about forgiving sins.

1 John 1:9

[9] If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

@2. who heals all your diseases,

i) The thought about having good health.

Isaiah 53:3, 5

[3] He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

[5] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

@3. who redeems your life from destruction,

i) The thought about having divine protection.

Psalm 91:3-7, 10-12

[3] Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. [4] He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. [5] You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, [6] Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. [7] A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

[10] No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; [11] For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. [12] In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

@4. who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

i) The thought about having divine favor.

Psalm 5:12

[12] For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

@5. who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

i) The thought about not withholding good things and the renewing of your strength.

Psalm 84:11

[11] For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

Psalm 73:26

[26] My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

b) These are all precious gifts from the Lord to you, and it brings Him unspeakable joy when He sees you enjoying these gifts and succeeding in life.
