Devotion: Benefits of Following God

🙏Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Whoforgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeemsyour life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness andtender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So thatyour youth is renewed like the eagle’s. --Psalm 103:2-5 (NKJV)In work and in life, we assess the benefits of financial outlays,activities and ways we expend our time and efforts. In this passage,the Psalmist lists benefits of serving God.He forgives.He heals.He redeems our lives.He shows mercy.He loves us.He provides good things.Renews our hearts and minds as we trust Him.What better time to give thanks to our Creator and Savior than today!Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy enduresforever. --1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV)By Carolyn R ScheidiesRead more like this in First I Bow
