Remember God’s Promised Benefits—And Bless Him for Them!

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” (Psalm 103:1–5)

It’s easy to forget the blessings we’ve already received

Like someone who looks at an old photo album and suddenly remembers all the good times and victories of the past, we, too, need to pause and remember. David reminded his soul not to forget what God had done. When you recall His benefits, gratitude rises and praise flows naturally.
