Show FORGET NOT HIS BENEFITS Psalm 103: 1-5 This text is one of my favorite passages of Scripture because of all that it has stored up for me. It is not a Psalm about the endless difficulties but about blessings that come from God. This, you might, say is truly soul music inviting and stirring the inner most self to "magnify the Lord." Stop all you murmuring, your half-hearted, ill conceived, unintelligent whimpering. F or He is worthy to be praised to the uttermost. We often end the year going out with "forget" and begin with the continuous "remember." I would like to remind of some things t hat we ought to 1 us never forget and they verses are found in the first five Forget not his of Psalm 1 03. benefits. What benefits must we not forget? First, forget not that He forgives you (3a) Pardon of sin is one of the choicest pearls of mercy and grace. He forgives our commissions and our omissions so that we can experience the blessings of healing, redemption, and satisfaction. He lifts the dreadfully heavy burden from the back, the irritatible yoke form the neck, and the of your sins sets the us free. Not iniquities many of but "all." "The blood of some or even Christ his Son cleanseth (I us from all sin." 1) Second, forget not that heals your John 2 . Guilty but diseased also. There is healing in the land. The Great Physician is ready to cure no matter how infectious or contagious the disease. Third, forget not that He redeems diseases. your life form destruction. When the lion and the bear would come to devour us, the God Shepherd delivers us from the grave is any match for the Redeemer. Fourth, forget not that He crows you danger . Not even death or with grace and mercy. Like the Father, He waits with outstretched arms and table before yo in the very presence of your enemies. Fifth, forget not that He satisfies you prepares with a good things. On the table that will settle the stomach and 3 are all satisfy thetaste buds. It is of the nature of God good. Sixth, forget not that He renews your strength. From day to day, you will get and therefore little stronger, you will thrive and flourish with outstretched wings. You a will mount up with wings like eagles. "Bless the Lord, 0 my Soul, and forget not all His benefits." 4 |
