Know Your Benefits

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
Psalm 103:2 (NKJ)

What you don't know could be depriving you. Recently, my employer sent me an up-to-date print out of my insurance coverage. Although it was quite lengthy, I took the time to read it and gained an even better understanding of my coverage and all that my insurance policy had to offer. As I was reading, I immediately discovered that one of my benefits was over the counter drug reimbursement. I must admit that before reading my plan, I was not taking advantage of this benefit, because I was unaware that it was available to me. Unfortunately, I had been paying for over the counter medication with no expectancy of anything in return. As I pondered the situation concerning my insurance coverage, a question about God's word came to mind. I wondered how many of us as God's children forfeit His promises, because we are unaware of what is available to us in His word. Did you know your righteous coverage in God includes: Direction (Proverbs 3:5-6), Encouragement (Joshua 1:9), Forgiveness (1 John 1:9), Healing (Isaiah 53:5), Love (John 3:16), Peace (John 14:27), Prosperity (Proverbs 8:18), Protection (Psalm 91), Provision (Philippians 4:19), Purpose (Jeremiah 29:11), Salvation (Romans 10:9), Wisdom (James 1:5), and more? If you don't know what's in God's plan for you, it's not too late to discover what's yours. You should know that you have a policy in God that's paid in full. Therefore, take time to read the manual (the Bible), and don't forfeit any of God's benefits for your life. Know your benefits.

Lord, thank you for all that you have provided for me concerning every area of my life. Thank you for all of your benefits and for a life of abundance. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  1. I love the new look! I also like how you used the analogy of healthcare benefits with the spiritual benefits of our Lord.

    Many blessings to you! Your COMPEL neighbor, Gina. :)

  3. Montez, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. It had me cheering the strength of God's word. Go God, go! I visited yesterday (?) when it was on a different format and comments weren't an option. I'm glad you changed it so others of us can stop in and say, "Good job! Nice post." Visiting you today via #Compeltraining

    1. Kristi,
      Thanks so much for your encouraging words and for visiting my blog. I am glad my post blessed your soul. The first time I attempted to link up things didn't go quite right, but with the help of my daughter I was able to successfully link up the correct way the second time around. Once again, thanks for visiting. And God bless you in all that you are doing for the glory of God!

  4. Great hook and analogy, Montez. Since my husband is in the insurance business, I completely related to your story as I hear him explain to people all day benefits they didn't realize they had. Thankful for the the benefits of being His. : )
