Forget Not All His Benefits

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and forget not all His benefits.” Psalm 103:2

Too often in life, I do not take the time to reflect on all that is mine because God has chosen me as His child. My busy life clouds my vision and distracts me from seeing Him working in the little things. When I sit quietly and reflect on my life, I see things that I had missed, ways in which God was working in my life about which I knew nothing. Sometimes, it is not possible to see these things immediately. We need time to pass in order to see the plan that God had for us all along. These blessings can do nothing but strengthen our faith in our gracious Father and they help us to trust Him more and more. That is the purpose of looking back and seeing how He has led us. We learn that there is nothing with which we cannot trust God. His love for us motivates Him in all our circumstances. Nothing will happen in our lives that we will not be able to look back on one day and bless His holy name for. I will bless Him, for He is good and His continual watchcare in my life has proved that to me.

Father, let me never forget all the ways that You have worked in my life. Help me to look at all circumstances in my life and see how they are benefiting me. You are so faithful to me! You have led me in mighty ways and though You work in ways that always mystify me, I know that I can trust You because You love me. I bless Your name, O Lord! You are deserving of praise. Amen.
