Now that I am well over 65 years old, I have to concern myself with Medicare and additional health insurance coverage. The problem is that I don’t understand insurance information at all. So this is yet another area where I have to rely on my wife. She doesn’t enjoy looking at insurance coverage details, but she does understand it. You have to know the benefits that are covered under each policy and be able to project your health concerns over the coming year to determine the best policy for you. So every year my wife determinedly does the research and finds the best policy for us. She is very good at this despite her distaste for the process.
Psalm 103:2-5 tells us to praise God for the many benefits He gives us and then lists some of these benefits. It says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 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.” This is quite a list of benefits. Unlike health insurance, there is no need to compare benefits because these benefits are not offered anywhere else. You can trust God that He will cover your life with every benefit you will ever need.
The only cost to receive God’s benefits is faith. We need to believe that God is and that He has provided for our salvation and redemption through the sacrifice of His own Son. We must agree that we need His salvation and offer ourselves back to Him, allowing Jesus to be both Savior and Lord. Why wait? These benefits can be yours today.
