I pray that you are still praising Him for His many benefits. Many times we want the benefits, but don't want to experience all that comes along with receiving the benefits. Think about that for a moment. God will give us benefits, yet there are requirements to accepting His plan. As you pray today, ask yourself whether you are being obedient to His Word? Wait for a response and ask God for His Grace in this area.
Be Blessed!
Day 4:
Psalm 103:1–5
As we recognize and identify the specific blessings we have received from God and from others, we discover countless reasons for expressing gratitude. The psalmist took time to bless the Lord for specific benefits—he didn’t want to forget even one of them! As you open your heart to Him in prayer today, asks God to reveal to you just how great your “benefits package” really is.
Make two lists under these headings: “Gifts from God” and “Gifts from Others.” Then put down everything that comes to mind. Don’t try forcing this into a one-time, ten-minute exercise—stop and start as it seems natural. Keep adding to these lists as additional gifts come to mind over the next thirty days (and beyond). After you’ve written out a list of your blessings, take some time to walk through your list line by line, thanking God for each of these “benefits.” Then, read Psalm 103 aloud. Try memorizing and meditating on at least the first five verses over the next week or so.
