I require many things to keep me going.

Spiritually, physically, socially, mentally, financially — my needs are many.

And my own resources are so meager.

But God has not abandoned the works of His hands.

“These wait all upon thee that thou mayest give them their meat in due season” (Psalm 104:27).

I read that and remembered this:

“Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” (Matthew 6:26).

Since His eye is on the sparrow, I know that He watches over me!

But just before that He declared: “No man can serve two masters . . . . Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (24).

I choose Him!

Check out Psalm 103 . . . .

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (2).

Learn to notice the positive in another. When a friend (any person, in fact) does or is good, give him recognition for that. Commend her for it.

Do the same for God! Notice Him, His work, and His benefits. Then bless Him.

“Who forgiveth all thine iniquities” (3).

“Who healeth all thy diseases” (3).

“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction” (4).

“Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies” (4).

“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things” (5).

“So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (5).

What is one thing you can say about each of those benefits?

“Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bess the LORD, O my soul” (22).
