As I look for a job, I focus on the benefits of each position: health insurance, life insurance, 401K, etc. These benefits are important in our culture, for the security we need – especially for a single mom.
But this morning, I read about the benefits that come from living the Christian life and walking with God. They are listed in Psalm 103:2-5:
• Forgiveness – the benefit God offers to us and we offer to others
• Healing – physical, emotional, spiritual
• Redemption – the freedom we have because of Jesus
• Love – that incredible compassion and caring that God shows to us each day
• Satisfaction – the fulfillment of letting God meet the desires of our hearts
• Renewed Life – living and breathing the Spirit-filled abundance
• Justice – as God vindicates us, we find hope for the future
The Bible is filled with even more benefits – all the promises we have in Christ. But this list gives me hope today, and that’s the insurance and assurance I need.
