God's Fringe Benefits

     Some stores and restaurants have discounts for senior citizens and veterans. In addition, some health insurance carriers have free gym memberships. You have to meet some criteria to take advantage of these benefits. In our passage today, we will see some of the Lord's benefits for our life. Read Psalm 103:1-12.

     In these verses, the Lord gives us at least ten benefits we can tap into if we are his child. He forgives our iniquities. The bible says he heals all our diseases. Thirdly he saves us from destruction. Fourth, he crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies. Fifth, he renews our strength. The sixth thing he executes is righteousness and judgment to the oppressed.  Seventh, he is merciful and gracious. Eighth, he is slow to anger and will not keep his anger forever. Ninth, his mercy is great toward the ones that fear him. Number ten, he has removed our transgressions as far as the east is to the west. 

     This is just a portion of the benefits the Lord provides. When we trust Jesus and accept him as our Lord and Savior, we will have everlasting life in heaven when our journey on this Earth is over. Do not delay if you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are missing out on God's greatest benefits.
