Good morning champions and here’s another bunch of benefits that Psalm 103 says are ours in Christ.
Psalm 103: 5-11 (NIV)
5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
· Through satisfying your desires he renews your youth like the eagles. Through grace we experience our youth renewed.
· God stands in front of us and works righteously and justly for us when oppression comes into our world to harm us.
· As with Moses and the children of Israel He makes His ways and deeds known to us by revelation so that we can know what is happening when others don’t.
· God abounds toward us with compassion and grace and doesn’t harbour anger or repay us what we deserve for iniquities committed. Instead of punishing us He sees all iniquity paid for by the sacrifice of His beloved.
Finally: What a great measurement He uses to reveal the quantity of His love towards us- as high as the heavens are above the earth. That is a long way my friend and that love is yours again today because of Jesus.
Bask in that love again today and forget none of His benefits!
