Day 211 Don’t Forget His Benefits | Psalm 103:2–5

Ever notice how quickly we forget the amazing things God has already done for us? Our minds race forward to the next need, the next prayer request, the next challenge—while the evidence of His faithfulness piles up behind us, unacknowledged and underappreciated.

In this soul-stirring devotional, we explore Psalm 103:2-5, where David reminds himself (and us) to "never forget the good things he does for me." This isn't just casual advice—it's a spiritual practice that transforms our perspective. The psalm walks us through a comprehensive list of God's benefits: forgiveness of sins, healing of diseases, redemption from death, crowning us with love and tender mercies, and filling our lives with good things. These aren't abstract theological concepts but personal experiences that we've all tasted in some measure.

Life moves relentlessly fast, creating a kind of spiritual amnesia where yesterday's miracles fade behind tomorrow's worries. But what if remembering is actually an act of faith? What if pausing to reflect on God's track record of goodness is the very thing that equips you to face your current challenges? Today's devotional serves as that necessary reset button, slowing us down to recognize that the same God who has been faithful isn't about to stop now. Take these few minutes to let gratitude replace anxiety, to let praise be louder than your worries, and to let remembrance fuel your faith for whatever lies ahead. Your heart will be lighter for it.

Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance. I'm Rick. Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges. Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired. Let's get started. Today is Day 211.

Don't forget his benefits. From Psalm 103, verses 2 through 5 from the New Living Translation. Let all that I am praise the Lord. May I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things.

Speaker 1: 1:09

Life moves fast, so fast sometimes that we forget what God has already done. Psalm 103 is like a spiritual reset button. It slows us down and it reminds us. Don't forget. Don't forget how far you've come. Don't forget how many times you've been forgiven. Don't forget the moments he healed what you didn't think could be healed or how he pulled you out of what you thought was over. We get so caught up in what we still need that we forget to thank him for what he's already given. And look what he's done. He's forgiven, he's healed, rescued, loved, crowned, satisfied.

Speaker 1: 2:00

That's not a partial list. It's a full picture of God's goodness in your life. So today, take a pause, not to ask but to remember, to praise, to reflect, because when you start remembering his benefits, your faith grows stronger and your heart gets lighter. He's been faithful and he's not about to stop now. Pray with me, lord, help me not to forget, remind me of the ways you've shown up in my life again and again, fill me with gratitude and let my praise be louder than my worries. Today, in Jesus' name, I pray, amen. Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
