Are You Focusing In On The Problem or The Promise? You Have To Know The Benefits You Are Entitled To According To God's Word ...

Who God is does not change because of what you are going through.  God is still God.   He is still Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.   He is still Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.   He is still El Shaddai, God Almighty.   We make the mistake of not acknowledging who God is when we are going through situations in our lives instead of highlighting who He is while we are going through. 

We have to begin to stay focused on who God is and what He has promised to do in, through, and for us.   We have to remember that in our weakness, God has already said He is strong.   When we go through sickness in our body, we have to know and believe that He is Jehovah Rapha, our Healer.  

The Bible tells us to "forget NOT" all of His benefits.   A benefit is something that is advantageous or good.   It is a payment or a gift.   There are many benefits that God has given us in life.   When we are searching for a job, one of the first questions we ask a potential employer is "what are the benefits".   We seek them out and we learn about them so when situations occur in our lives, we know what we are entitled to.   We should be doing the same thing with the benefits of God.   We should be seeking what God has said we are entitled to in His Word so that when situations occur in our lives, we know what to do in order to receive the benefits we are entitled to per our benefit manual which is the Bible.  

So instead of focusing in on the problems that tend to be occurring in your life, focus in on the promises that God has given you concerning your life.    Know the benefits you are entitled to according to God's Word.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 103:1-5
King James Version (KJV)
103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
