The Psalmist gives us a number of reasons to praise God. “Forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit.” Later, “He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him.”
God’s love is demonstrated in His willingness to forgive us. His ways are so far above ours, yet He is willing to show love to those that respond to Him. It is a steadfast love, dependable and enduring, unlike man whose “days are like grass”.
We are reminded of that love weekly, when we remember the sacrifice of Jesus through the bread and the wine. Jesus’ love in giving his life is a perfect embodiment of God’s love for us. So let us “forget not all his benefits”, and praise God for the interest He shows in our lives.
