“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits.” Psalm 68:19
As a follower of Yeshua, Yehovah has poured a multitude of benefits into our lives. The song goes “Count your blessings, name them one by one. And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” Here are just a few of them. 1. Everything you have ever done wrong has been forgiven. Hebrews 8:12 says Yehovah will “be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” That is not because Yehovah has absentmindedly forgotten your wrongdoing, but because your sin, past, present and future, has been nailed to the cross when Yeshua died on your behalf, Yehovah chooses to not remember them anymore. 2. You have come into a personal relationship with Yehovah. Because the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua has made righteous all those who trust in Him, you can have boldness to approach your Heavenly Father. 3. You learn Yehovah’s purpose for your life. It has been said the two most important days in a person’s life is one, when they were born and two, when they find out why. 4. You get Yehovah’s strength for daily living. Life can be tough. Each of us face trials, obstacles, heartaches and losses, but the strength Yehovah gives you empowers you to live a victorious life – if you live it “by the faith of the Son of Yehovah, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20). 5. You are guaranteed eternal life. Not only are you guaranteed the presence of Yehovah to accompany you every day of your natural life, Yeshua has gone to prepare a place for you in Heaven and will come again to take you there to spend eternity with Him. Now that is something to rejoice about.
