In our area, every business seems to be hiring. “Now Hiring ” signs are everywhere. Many advertise signing bonuses, higher pay, and more benefits. The competition amongst businesses is fierce. The prospective employee not only has a choice of where to work but what benefits are to be chosen.
I wonder what benefits carry the most weight for job searchers. Is it fully paid medical coverage at the provider of their choice? Or would six weeks of paid vacation sway the searcher? In any case, those seeking employment are currently in the driver’s seat.
What benefits mean a lot to you.? Do you want a house with all the modern conveniences? Or how about a sleek new sports car? We need to be careful about what we seek and why. Our desires may take us in directions we do not really want to go.
Take a look at the benefits described in Psalm 103:2-5; “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Just from this short list, God forgives all over our sins, redeems us from our despair, grants us love and mercy, and satisfies us with good. Now that’s a list of unsurpassed benefits. I’ve signed up to receive these benefits by believing in Jesus Christ and the salvation He provided on the cross. You can do the same,but don’t wait. It is a limited time offer, available only during your lifetime or until soon return.
