Know Your Benefits

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits.” – Psalm 103:2 (NKJV)

What you don’t know could be depriving you. Recently, my employer sent me an up-to-date print out of my insurance coverage. Although it was quite lengthy, I took the time to read it and gained an even better understanding of my coverage and all that my insurance policy had to offer. As I was reading, I immediately discovered that one of my benefits was over the counter drug reimbursement. I must admit that before reading my plan, I was not taking advantage of this benefit, because I was unaware that it was available to me.

Unfortunately, I had been paying for over the counter medication with no expectancy of anything in return. As I pondered the situation concerning my insurance coverage, a question about God’s word came to mind. I wondered how many of us as God’s children forfeit His promises, because we are unaware of what is available to us in His word.

Did you know your righteous coverage in God includes: direction (‪Proverbs 3:5-6‬), encouragement (Joshua 1:9), forgiveness (1 John 1:9), healing (Isaiah 53:5), love (John 3:16), peace (John 14:27), prosperity (Proverbs 8:18), protection (Psalm 91), provision (Philippians 4:19), purpose (Jeremiah 29:11), salvation (Romans 10:9), wisdom (James 1:5), and more?

If you don’t know what’s in God’s plan for you, it’s not too late to discover what’s yours. You should know that you have a policy in God that’s paid in full. Therefore, take time to read the manual (the Bible), and don’t forfeit any of God’s benefits for your life. Know your benefits.
