Day 211 Don’t Forget His Benefits | Psalm 103:2–5

Send us a text

Ever notice how quickly we forget the amazing things God has already done for us? Our minds race forward to the next need, the next prayer request, the next challenge—while the evidence of His faithfulness piles up behind us, unacknowledged and underappreciated.

In this soul-stirring devotional, we explore Psalm 103:2-5, where David reminds himself (and us) to "never forget the good things he does for me." This isn't just casual advice—it's a spiritual practice that transforms our perspective. The psalm walks us through a comprehensive list of God's benefits: forgiveness of sins, healing of diseases, redemption from death, crowning us with love and tender mercies, and filling our lives with good things. These aren't abstract theological concepts but personal experiences that we've all tasted in some measure.

Life moves relentlessly fast, creating a kind of spiritual amnesia where yesterday's miracles fade behind tomorrow's worries. But what if remembering is actually an act of faith? What if pausing to reflect on God's track record of goodness is the very thing that equips you to face your current challenges? Today's devotional serves as that necessary reset button, slowing us down to recognize that the same God who has been faithful isn't about to stop now. Take these few minutes to let gratitude replace anxiety, to let praise be louder than your worries, and to let remembrance fuel your faith for whatever lies ahead. Your heart will be lighter for it.
