Forget Not All His Benefits

Psalm 103:2 (KJV) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
Kemi’s car was really giving her trouble. She had spent a lot of money on it, but the car was still giving her trouble. The day she went late to office and missed a very important meeting because her car broke down on the road, she broke down in tears because she was frustrated.

Somewhere in her heart Kemi was displeased with God because she had prayed about this and the problem was only getting worse. The car now became a reason for her passive anger and unthankfulness toward God. She had quickly forgotten how the car came through God’s miraculous intervention when she prayed.

Many of us become unthankful in our hearts because of some issues we are facing. We forget all the many other things that God has done for us. We magnify our problems by focusing on them. But we are to rather magnify the Lord by focusing on Him and thanking Him for what He has been doing. This is the way to victory.

You cannot be truly thankful in your heart and have a heavy unhappy heart. That’s why God says ‘in everything give thanks’ and ‘rejoice evermore’ (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). A thankful heart cannot be heavy or sad.

Go into today remembering that one of the signs that you are not thankful is that your heart will not be joyful. The next time your heart wants to become heavy, remember all the good things the Lord has done for you and let thanksgiving lead joy into your heart.

Prayer: Start by thanking God for the gift of life and the ability to read this devotional. There are millions of people in this world without the ability to read, and many without the opportunity to read from a smartphone or computer.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
