More Than We Can Handle

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Psalm 68:19 KJV

Sometimes it is easy to allow the things of this world to weigh us down. We might find ourselves thinking or saying, “I cannot take one more thing!” We live with a feeling of being over whelmed, over worked, and over run. If that is you this morning, may today’s thoughts bring about a new twist to your thinking.

Amidst all the troubles of life God wants each of us to know the truth of Psalm 68:19...that He daily loads us with benefits. He has acts of tenderness, loving kindness, and generosity in store for each of His children today and every day! If we are not aware of that and if we are not on the look out for those benefits, we will miss them. They will be there but we will miss the joy of discovery and the richness of experiencing them.

I have been on a hunt this morning and already I am seeing the first load of benefits being dropped into my spirit! God awakened me with the realization that there are ways to spend my day that will enrich my fellowship with Him or rob me of it. I am allowing His revelation to alter my activities, schedule, and objectives for today. I have already permitted music to minister to me! I love the song MAKE MY LIFE A PRAYER FOR YOU by Kathy Troccoli and have listened to it several times to let it saturate me. I received two emails that were such a blessing to me. One encouraged me greatly and the other gave me some spiritual truths that astounded and nourished me. He is letting me know there is more to come!

The benefits might be spiritual, physical, social, or emotional in their nature. They may have to do with His provision, protection, power, or presence but they will be apparent. I don’t want to miss any of them. Throughout the day I want to be aware of His deliveries and by the end of the day I want to feel like the kid who just went on a free shopping spree at Toys R Us!

I have lived too many years of my Christian life unmoved and unaware of God’s involvement in my life. I did not live with a daily amazement of Him or His gifts. I do now and that delights Him!

Father, I sense the glee in Your eye as You begin to lavish on me today‘s benefits. May I acknowledge each one with gratitude and delight! I open my arms and heart to receive them all. Amen.
