Remember His Benefits

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Remember his benefits. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits'. Psalm one oh three two. The benefits of the Lord are indeed great and marvelous, and it would be an act of ingratitude not to remember and appreciate them.

Note the following partial list in this psalm. Forgiveness. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities? God forgives all. He cleanseth us from all sin.

Healing. who healeth all thy diseases? The greatest and ultimate disease is that of aging and death but one day there shall be no more death. Redemption. who redeemeth thy life from destruction?

Glorification Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies? Provision Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things? strength Thy youth is renewed like the eagles. Protection. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

The greatest benefit of all, of course, is the gift of salvation by the mercy of God. Note the testimony of God's mercy. Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies? The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him. Infinite as the universe, enduring as eternity, these are the dimensions of God's mercy. As far as the East is from the West, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. no wonder this great psalm both begins and ends with the inspiring exhortation, Bless the Lord, O my soul.
