They say elephants never forget, so I thought I’d include a little elephant I made ages ago to remind us. With all the pressures of daily living we can be distracted and forget all the good things God does for us and the Holy Spirit says may we never forget!
He then goes on and reminds us that God forgives all our sins, not some, or just the old ones, but all our sins - past present and future. What a relief and what a blessing!
He heals all our diseases - same thing, no matter what name our disease has, or how long we’ve had it, Jesus has paid the price for our healing of it, with the flogging He took on His back. By His stripes we are and were healed.(Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24) We can receive our healing just like we receive our forgiveness because they came together. Jesus did it all.
He redeems my life from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. Jesus rescued us from going to Hell and then gave us wonderful crowns to wear. Spurgeon describes them as studded with the precious stones of His mercies and velvet lined with His loving kindness. How wonderful! Let’s not forget we’re wearing them.😊
Then he rounds it off by saying He fills my life with good. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! God restores and strengthens us so we’re like the soaring, powerful king of birds. How about you, are you claiming renewed youth? Jesus bought and paid for it along with all these other blessings. He says “Don’t forget the good things he does for us.”
I wonder sometimes if we only believe some of His benefits, so we only claim some of them. God wants us to enjoy all of them.😊 Maybe you noticed that they’re all in the present tense, they’re for now! They are all such wonderful blessings, aren’t they? It’s not surprising the Psalmist says “I will praise the Lord with my whole heart”
Perhaps you could spend a few minutes and read through Psalm 103 again and never forget the good things He does and has done for us.
We can surely say ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!’ Amen.
