Don’t Forget The Benefits!

Benefits! Everyone wants Benefits! How many people decide whether or not they accept a job or a promotion based on the benefits? All across this country and I guess the entire world companies negotiate with insurance companies to provide the best benefits at the lowest cost possible. Employee’s job-hunt and look for jobs with good benefits. And that is a good thing! I am not opposed to benefits. I like the benefits of the job I do now; I don’t mean just the insurance or 401(k). In my job I travel about 300 miles a day on most days (that’s about average) and that allows me a lot of time to listen to Gods Word being taught! That is an awesome benefit! My Wonderful Wife blessed me last year with an MP3 player and I found that since my vehicle only has cassette and AM/FM that I could use the MP3 just like I had been using my portable CD player. It came with a converter to play it through the cassette. Well, the MP3 will do the same thing. Glory to God, He is so awesome! Anyway, back to benefits; Have you ever thought about all the benefits you have? Now, once again, I am not necessarily talking about your benefits supplied by your employer. Let’s see something God tells us about benefits in His Word:

Psalm 103:1-5 (KJV)
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy
name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with
lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagles.

Lets not forget the Benefits that God has given us. How did He give them to us you may ask? He gave us His Word and He gave us His Son Jesus. As we approach The Celebration of Jesus Resurrection, think about all that was accomplished when Jesus died and went to hell for 3 days and paid our sin debt and purchased our Redemption.  Jesus also whipped and stripped the devil of the authority that he had stolen from Adam in the Garden of Eden. Now Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father and is getting ready to come back for His Church.

We got a lot to do in a short time! There are over 5 billion people on this world that do NOT know Jesus as LORD. Jesus didn’t endure all He did so that the devil can have more in Hell than there are in Heaven. He has given us an awesome Benefit Package! Use them to win others to Jesus! If you have never made Jesus LORD of your life and experienced the Benefits of that decision I invite you to do so today; Click on the tab “Are you a Christian” for more information. Have a Blessed Day and remember…JESUS IS LORD!
