Strength for Today I

Text: Psa. 68:19,
More Lessons: Deut. 28:1-13

No human government, system or administration, no matter how powerful has dared to assure its citizens of meeting all their needs on a daily basis. Yet the Bible declares that without fail, the government of our God loads His children with all the DAILY benefits we will ever need. The Darby Bible puts it this way; blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. Selah. What a great assurance of an abundant life full of peace and prosperity we have in the Lord our God!

Over 2000years ago He whole heartedly paid the ultimate price when He gave up His Son to be crucified as a ransom, that we may be redeemed from the slave market of sin, justified and made complete. II Cor.5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. By that singular act of love, we who accept Jesus as Lord and King are free from sin, Satan, sickness and shame forever. Halleluyah! You bet, that was good enough owing to the fact that what we really deserved was death! Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

He didn't just save us from sin by putting Jesus on Golgotha's cross, raising Him from the dead and when it was done, dust his feet and asked us to find our way from there. He is doing much more for us even today. The text says He daily loads us with benefits. The tense “loads” is a present continuous tense, to show that God's blessings on your life yesterday are nothing to be compared with His blessing about to be released unto us daily.

God is at work to load your life with benefits. His desire for you is that you will enjoy peace round about; nothing missing, nothing broken, but full of his benefits. Friend, God is not through with you yet. Your case is not closed because you have a father who has scheduled loads of favour, and grace and riches and strength to be delivered to your door step every day. If you are in Christ, you are a divine project in the hands of a divine God. He is set to bless you beyond boundaries evident in Matt.7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Today's blessings and benefits are hovering over your head; thank Him and take it!

Prayer/Action
* Pray that your benefits loaded in today will not pass you by.
* Ask God to grant you daily strength to enjoy your benefits.
Take a decision today to be used by God to meet somebody’s need.
