Daily Loads Us With Benefits

Ken

Who wouldn’t praise someone who daily weighs us down with benefits? “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation” (Psalm 68:19 KJV). How can anyone be so generous? How can anyone be so capable? Who could do such a thing? “Even the God of our salvation” (68:19). Why doesn’t everyone sign up to be His people? You can see why God’s adversary the devil has a full time job of giving everyone, especially God’s people, the impression that the LORD is not as good as He really is. The adversary must take the little he has and entice us that he has more than the Unlimited Almighty God of our Salvation. “Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive: Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them” (68:18). Leading “captivity captive” (68:18) is overpowering and delivering from the enemy. Receiving “gifts for men”(68:18) is distributing to us things we have not earned or worked for, like presents for little children. “For the rebellious also” (68:18) means He is willing to use His goodness in giving gifts to attract even His enemies, who still can change sides. LORD, help us to get the word out that You are the greatest benefit in all of existence for humankind! There is none like You! May we overcome the overcomer of our faith, as we untie our tongues in Your praise. May the feebleness of our minds be unfeebled as we search for words to rightly give You the praise for which You are worthy! Lord Jesus, return quickly that we should ever be in Your presence! Amen and amen.
