Recognizing Our Need to Give - Day 27

September 21, 2012

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things." 
Psalm  103: 2-5a

These verses focus on God's love for us.  As this scripture says, He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and gives righteousness and justice.  We receive all of these even though we are not deserving of them.  No matter how difficult our life's situation is we can always count our blessings.  When we feel as though we have nothing to praise God for and things seem on a downward spiral, read these verses and know that God cares and loves us for who we are, not what the world thinks of us.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Dear Lord, Thank you for the flowing blessings you give to us.  Please help us to share those blessings with others.
