PROMISE #225 - AUGUST 13
Promise #225:
Forgiveness and healing are among My many benefits.
Psalm 103:2-3 (WEB)
2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits;
3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
When a person is interviewing for a new job, one of the questions that they would typically ask is, "Could you tell me about the benefit package for this job?" Different jobs have different benefits, such as health care, dental plans, retirement plans, etc.
In this promise, David worships God and reminds himself not to forget the many benefits of a relationship with God. In verse 3, David declares two of these benefits: forgiveness and healing.
Interestingly, David needs to remind himself not to forget all God's benefits. The Lord exhorted the Israelites not to forget all the miraculous things that He had done for them in the past. That is why they created monuments of His goodness and annual feasts—so they would remember and not forget.
In Luke 22:14-20, Jesus shares the Passover supper with His disciples and encourages them to remember Him every time they partook of the bread and the wine. It was important to Jesus that His disciples remembered the price that He was going to pay for their salvation, for it is in the remembering of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection that we continue to partake of the fullness of His life.
My encouragement to you today is to bless the Lord with all your soul and remember all the many benefits we have received from our elder brother, Jesus Christ!
