I love Psalm 68! It is one of my [many] favorite Psalms! Verse 19 is a personal all-time favorite, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.” It is said the word Selah (which appears somewhere around 71 times in the Psalms) means “to pause, or to reflect”. Have you paused and reflected on the “daily benefits” from our gracious Lord? Daily benefits and blessings that cannot be numbered… REDEMPTION FROM SIN,an abundance of grace, and mercies anew every single morning are just a few that flood my mind as I read this Psalm. Psalm 103 says “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not ALL HIS benefits” then it goes on to list a few of these benefits! “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”[Ps 103:3-5] The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. ? Have you taken time to pause and reflect? Not on doubts or fears that can so quickly cloud our vision BUT on the Lord’s daily benefits and blessings! May your day be filled with rejoicing as you count your blessings!✨
“Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.”
Psalm 68:19-20
