Experiencing Jesus Together Through LentNäide

Day 8:
Scripture:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits;” Psalms 103:2-12 NKJV

A Call To: Reflect
It’s so easy to forget, isn’t it? I forget people’s names, sometimes I forget meetings and one time I forgot my jacket at a restaurant!  I never saw it again. There have been times I went looking frantically for my phone only to realize I couldn’t find it because I was talking on it! It was right there in my hand, but I wasn’t paying attention. Blessings are often like that. We have them, they’re in our hand…but we’re not paying attention to the Giver and we forget them.  

Lent is a time to remember. To intentionally recall God’s goodness and the benefits of His love and care. To pay attention to Jesus by spending time valuing Him, treasuring His presence and honoring Him for the very real and lasting benefits only He provides. New life, forgiveness, redemption, satisfaction, compassion. Amazing! All these blessings come from His nail scarred hands into our own. We are blessed! Take time to remember what’s really important today.  

Reflection:
If you have time, read all of Psalm 103 and praise God for all the specific ways He is blessing you today.

Praise + Prayer: 

God, thank You for all the ways You bless my life…starting with caring for my soul. Jesus, You’ve changed me forever by forgiving me and saving me.
