The overflow reminded me of how God pours out blessings on His children, and how important it is to recognize that “the Lord . . . daily loads us with benefits” (Ps. 68:19). |

Read: Psalm 103:1-10 |
Although I know He has furnished countless good things for me, when the car blows a gasket, when the flu infects my family, and when relationships threaten to unravel, dissatisfaction threatens my view of God’s blessings—they seem more like infrequent drips from a faucet rather than a flood of water from a hydrant! Maybe that’s why in Psalm 103 David reminds us to “forget not all His benefits” (v.2). And then, to help us, he lists a torrent of blessings for believers. He reminds us that God forgives all our iniquities, heals all our diseases, redeems our lives from destruction, crowns us with lovingkindness, and satisfies our mouths with good things (vv.3-5). (Psalm
103-Audio-)

Sent down from the Father above; His mercies and blessings abounding Are gifts of His marvelous love. —Anon. Adding
up your blessings will multiply your joy.

Cuando uno viaja por una carretera sinuosa en la montaña, nota que a la orilla de los abismos hay unas estructuras fijas: las barandas de seguridad. La función de esas barandas no es arruinar el viaje ni quitar el paisaje; están ahí para salvarnos la vida si perdemos el control o nos desviamos del camino. En la carta a los Hebreos, el Espíritu Santo colocó cinco "barandas espirituales". El autor no escribió estas advertencias para destruir nuestra paz ni para infundir un temor servil, sino para proteger a la iglesia del mayor peligro espiritual: la apostasía. La apostasía rara vez ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Comienza como un enfriamie...
