As you can see by the date on this blog and the last one, several days have slipped by in the hustle and bustle of the seasons. Not to mention the sudden invasion of some kind of bug into my head and throat sending me to bed for a few days. But I came across some verses today that really resounded with me regarding healing. I want to share them with you.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion.
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion.
Psalm 103:2-4 NIV
I spent a great deal of time fretting during my short illness over the things I could not accomplish nor get done. Not once did I ponder the "benefits" of the Lord. Oh, I know how beneficial my relationship is with Him, but how often do I actually take the time to consider all the benefits He provides each one of us. Rarely, do we take the time to "taste and see that the Lord is good." These verses from Psalm 103 opened my eyes and heart to the glorious nature of our relationship with our Lord -- the forgiveness of our sins, the healing of our bodies and minds, and above all, the redemption that only He can render with unconditional love and compassion.
Won't you consider this benefit package from on high? Perhaps you've been looking for a relationship with benefits . . . look no further!
