Remember His Benefits
Scripture
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Devotional
Change can make the mind rehearse what is missing: the old rhythm, familiar coworkers, energy, income, or certainty. The psalmist gives the soul a different assignment: do not forget God's benefits. Gratitude is not pretending loss does not hurt. It is refusing to let loss be the only thing you see. Take a slow inventory of grace. Perhaps it is a body that carried you through many years, a home, a friend, a memory, a meal, a verse that still finds you, or simply breath for today. Naming gifts does not solve every problem, but it reorients the heart toward the Giver. God has been faithful in more ways than you can count.
