Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.Psalms 68:19 KJV
When you consider your daily experiences, does this verse make sense to you? Do you see God's hand through the pain of daily grind? As you commute to work or business, as you do school runs, as you pursue success in education or business and life in general, do you even see God at all? I believe he is called Lord here for a reason, and it is that He rules over all of life, no matter what my personal experience may be. He is Lord of all I see, know and imagine and he deserves all the praise.
Look at what he has done: daily loads us with benefits. Is that what you see? Do you see God work in all that goes on around you? Can you laugh your way through the tears, confident that God has got your back, no matter how the day has been? Can you count your blessings and see the numerous, amazing things God has done?
In this same verse, I see God's greatest benefit: salvation -given full and free. There is nothing God asks me for, except to believe and accept him as Lord, so I can enjoy all the benefits. What am I waiting for?
At the end is 'Selah': pause and consider: take a moment and think deep about your life and present experiences. You will find God's hand woven into the fabric of everything you have received, whether it is good or not so good according to your own definition. His time of favour is here.
