Daily loadeth us with benefits


“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”
- Psalms 68v19

There are times in our lives when it seems like we are daily loaded with burdens instead of being daily loaded with benefits. We often find ourselves loaded down with weights and cares and we allow them to dominate out thoughts. When we focus on our burdens instead of our benefits we find it very difficult, if not impossible, to “bless the Lord.”

The Bible says that the Lord daily loads us with benefits. Whether we choose to focus on them or not is up to us. He benefits us within words from The Valley of Vision;

Personal mercies
A measure of health
Preservation of body
Comforts of house and home
Sufficiency of food and clothing
Continuance of mental powers
My family, their mutual help and support
The delights of domestic harmony and peace
The seats now filled that might have been empty
My country, home, Bible, and faith.

Lets choose to bless God for daily loading us with benefits, instead of doubting Him for problems and burdens we perceive.
