Psalm 103:2

Psalm 103:2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits

Oh my. Do you, on occasion, forget to count your blessings? I know I do from time to time. It can be as easy as having a rough day. Then you talk to someone else, and you start trying to outdo one another regarding who had the worst day. And it goes on and on and on and on. Then no matter how bad you felt at first, you feel 10 times worse now. How about thanking God for what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do in our lives? Remember Romans 8:28? He is in control, even when you wonder where He may be at times. Look at the life and writings of King David in the Psalms. One day he's proclaiming the faithfulness of the Lord, and in the next breath he's wondering where God may be. God wants us to be honest and open with Him. He knows us inside and out. You may be able to fool everyone around you, but God knows what's deep down inside of you. The fear, the doubt, the thing/things you hope He doesn't know about or see. He knows, and He sees. And He still loves you. Let Him have it all. Surrender all to Him. He didn't scold David, nor did Jesus scold Thomas for his moment of doubt. So often we're so busy trying to "look" Christian, that we begin to pretend with God too. Let's be real before God and before one another. We're His children after all......He's our Daddy. He will help us if we'll just humble ourselves and ask Him. So many folks want to be super Christian and try to do it on their own. Let the Lord lead and guide you, and stop trying to do it all on your own. Forget not all His benefits. Have a great day and God bless. :-) PJ
