Psalms 103:2
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
As I type this, I am sitting in the ER waiting for who knows how long with my son. As a look around the room, I see so many people in need. I also see a bunch of staff in need. They are all overworked, understand and our waiting time is unreal. However, as I sit here with him I am also thankful we have medical care.
One poor kid is in so much pain next to us. I wish I could take it away from him. I feel so bad. Hmmm . . . I wonder if God ever feels that way? He is perfectly capable of making things go away. He is perfectly capable of giving us everything we need. One of the problems is we don’t ask for help or use the gifts He has given us.
I was once told a story about a man who died and was led to a room just filled to the brim with gifts. When he asked what was all of this, Jesus replied, “These are all the gifts that I wanted to give you, but you never asked for or used them.”
We don’t have to travel through this life in spiritual pain. We have the ultimate healer who is more than capable and willing to help. Our benefits are great. Take time to praise the Lord for all He has done for you and is yet to do for you.
Lord, thank you, for all of your many gifts. You truly meet my every single need. ~amen
