I thought this week we could take a look at Psalm 103. In today's job market it seems everyone is looking for the best job with the best benefits. When they get a job they carefully go over the benefits package!
Now there's nothing wrong with wanting benefits from our jobs and if we get them, to go over them carefully. As Christians we need to not forget the "benefits" that come with a relationship with God!
Let's study all of Psalm 103 and see if God doesn't offer the best benefits package of all time! It's also important when we're going through tough times to remember those benefits! Maybe you don't have a job right now, or you've been looking everywhere for one and you're not getting a break, so you don't have a retirement plan or health insurance, God provides it!
Now I'm not advocating not planning for your financial future but when we're going through those tough times, if we would just make a list of God's benefits to His children and read them every time we feel discouraged we would always have our joy and peace! And that's something no one can take away from you,.... unless you let them.
