With Benefits!
Do you use those deals that come with benefits? Often travel packages bring benefits like--"stay 4 nights and get 2 FREE meals"! Or the credit card company encourages you to charge $500.00 now and get 6 months of no interest charges. Wow, we like those benefits!
When was the last time you considered the benefits package you have received from the Lord? Psalm 103:2 reads:
"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Benefits come from the Lord Jesus every day, and we do not deserve all his graciousness. His benefits are too numerous to count! Certainly no earthly package can bring us unshakable peace, holy guidance, and every little or big blessing.
As humans we have the tendancy to get trapped into our gripes! We focus on the high costs of food, delays in the traffic, or noise from our neighbors. We might waste hours thinking about our frustrations. Maybe we could try to let gratitude over-flow from our humble hearts and count those benefits from the Lord.
When you start counting the benefits, share them with others. Get others on the "new track" of praising, rather than on the path of gripes.
Prayer: Change my heart, O Lord.

Loving God our Father!
When you turn to the Lord Jesus you delight his heart! You know the feeling when someone rushes forward to greet you with a smile and hug. You feel so loved and acknowledged! Perhaps that's how God feels when we call on his name in worship and prayer, acknowledging him as our heavenly Father and honoring him above all else.
