Psalm 103:2, 3, 4, 5
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, Who healeth all thy diseases, Who redeemeth thy life from destruction, Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
FORGIVE, HEAL, REDEEM, CROWN AND SATISFY.
There are benefits to following the LORD GOD, benefits that can not be found on the human level. Sure, we can go to a Doctor for healing, but where did the Doctor get his knowledge and his medicine; we can go to a confessor, but he can not forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, only JESUS can. Only JESUS can redeem a life from destruction, setting the feet on the path to wholeness. People can give kindness and love, but only JESUS gives that loving-kindness and tender mercies to the deep place in the spirit. We can eat and eat and eat good food, but is that food good for building up the person to wholeness? Only in JESUS is the Spiritual food of new and unending life.
There is nothing in the flesh that can equal the magnitude of the benefits of GOD. All things in the flesh fall short of the glory of GOD; in JESUS Christ, all things are good, gracious, merciful and full of love. We are truly satisfied in JESUS Christ.
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS; LOOK FULL IN HIS WONDERFUL FACE, AND THE THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW STRANGELY DIM, IN THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE.
