“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—” ~ Psalms 103:1-2
Did you realize that there are benefits in praising the LORD? Here are a few
- Forgiveness of sins
- Healing
- Eternal life
- Crowns, or blesses us with love and compassion
- Satisfies our desires with good things
- Renews our strength
- The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed
- Compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love toward us
- Does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities
- Shows us a great and steadfast love
And there are so many more benefits in praising the LORD, like the favor and the blessing of success. So, with a pure and sincere heart begin to praise the LORD right where you are for being who He is, and for loving us so. We’ve done nothing to deserve such love and kindness. We actually deserved death and punishment. Instead, we received blessings and benefits. So, why not lift up your voice and shout a shout of praise. Sing melodies in your heart to the LORD for He is good.
Father, please help me to realize that there are benefits in serving You. Keep my heart true no matter what may befall me and help me to continuously praise You no matter my circumstances. Take my hand and lead me ever guiding me along life’s bumpy highway. Help me to have the courage to share these benefits with the ones I love and with those I meet. Come to Your people bearing Your benefits, and help us to recognize Your benefits. Thank you so much for not treating us according to what our sins and iniquities deserve. Let Your steadfast love surround us today, that we may be encouraged when we praise You.
In Jesus name, Amen.
