Forget Not

Psalm 103:2 “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits…”

The psalmist is speaking again to his soul, commanding it to praise the Lord by not forgetting his “benefits.” And then he begins to list some of them. 

Before we read on, let’s think of some of the personal benefits we have from knowing the Lord.  Let’s take time to look at our lives and realize the advantage, profit, and gain we have from a life surrendered to Him.

When we realize that we have the advantage over every circumstance that rises to greet us each day, that He is with us and He is victorious, we can praise the Lord.

When we realize the profit we receive from trading in a sin-filled soul to receive a guilt-free life, one where we lose hell and receive the gift of eternal life, we can praise the Lord.

When we realize that gaining the whole world is rubbish compared to the riches of a life with Jesus, we can praise the Lord.

Speak to your soul.  Remember his benefits.  And praise His name.
