Holy Benefits Package~

Good morning,

One of the most important things job applicants look into when considering employment are the benefits.  Most every employer offers them, and sometimes the way future employees are wooed into a new company is by an extensive benefits package.

Health insurance, stock options, college tuition payments, and two weeks vacation are great  - if you can get them. However, as God's children, we all have a Holy benefits package that is the best one!

Psalm 103 provides a list:

• God forgives all our sins
• He heals all our diseases
• He saves our lives
• God crowns us with love and mercy
• He wraps us in goodness 
• The Lord renews our youth
• He makes everything come out right for us and our children
• God is not easily angered
• He is rich in love, mercy, and grace

God woos us as well.  He wants us to choose Him because He desperately wants to lavish us with His benefits.

Let's accept!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for Your incomparable benefits; unlike the limitations of benefits on earth, Yours keep on giving. You continually forgive us, heal us, save us, crown us, and wrap us up in Your love.  Thank You that You are making everything right for us and those we love.  We receive all Your benefits, in Jesus' name! Amen~

Holy Benefits Package!

Good morning!

One of the most important things job applicants look into when considering employment are the benefits.  Most every employer offers them, and sometimes the way future employees are wooed into a new company is by being presented with an  extensive benefits package. 

Health insurance, stock options, college tuition payments, and two weeks vacation are great  - if you can get them. However, as God's children, we all have a Holy benefits package that is the best one ever!

Psalm 103 (I used THE MESSAGE version for this DEVO) COMMANDS us to "not forget all of His benefits."

Let's refresh our memories bullet point by bullet point:

·         Forgives all our sins

·         Heals all our diseases

·         Saves our lives

·         Crowns us with love and mercy

·         Wraps us in goodness

·         Renews our youth

·         Makes everything come out right

·         Not easily angered

·         Rich in love

·         Sheer mercy and grace

·         Makes everything right for us and our children

God woos us as well.  He wants us to choose Him because He desperately wants to lavish us with His benefits.

Let's accept!
