Psalm 68:19 (KJV)
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV)
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

This week I found that my desktop computer is running such an old windows program that it will not allow the internet to work correctly. Now up until a few days ago I thought it was working great and then it seemed like it just decided to quit working right.

So, my computer needs updating with a different windows system. Even when I thought it was working correctly things were not right within the system. I was missing some of the benefits and things my computer should do for me.

Now if you look at the first scripture above we are told that the Lord God Almighty loads us daily with benefits and the second scripture tells us that His promises to us are YES and AMEN. Amen means let it be so!!

May I tell you that God will load you with all kinds of blessed benefits every day: favor, strength, friendships, open doors of ministry, jobs, food, clothing, and more importantly: peace, joy, love and direction.

WELL??????? Then why do we not have these benefits in our lives? Why do we daily struggle with situations and problems, defeat and lack of direction?

Just as my desktop computer, we are running on old programs. We are running on last month, year, or even yesterday’s blessings. We are being hinder by our flesh and fleshly desires because we are not daily allowing the Spirit of the Living God to load us with the benefits Jesus Paid for by coming to earth and paying the ultimate price.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
22 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Even when we are on the latest programs on our computers there are constant updates to keep us running with all the good new stuff! May I tell you that God’s Mercy and Blessings are new every morning, His benefits are ours to enjoy but we must spend time in His presence letting our Spirit receive the updates for today.

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not come. We have today and today the God of the universe wants to load us with benefits. God desires to Bless us but we must come to Him.

What do you need? Father God has it!! He is the Great I am!! We cannot receive His Benefits without spending time in His presence through prayer, meditating on the word and praise.

As we do our part to come to Him, He then fulfills His promise to cleanse us and fill us full of all we need to be all we can be in a world that needs to see someone who really loves Jesus.

But sometimes we would rather complain about the problems and keep walking in the old ways and remembering back when, instead of coming to Jesus just as we are and letting Him update our Spirit and fill us full of hope, and everything else we need for a peace and joy filled journey on this road called life.

I don’t know about you but I want the full benefit package from our Father God. I want to daily have Him fill me with all I need and to be renewed all through the day because I allow updates to my Spirit.

How about you? Do you want to struggle along on your own or on yesterday’s blessings or do you want to be daily loaded with benefits? I think it is a no brainer! Lord load us up as we submit each, day, way, and situation to you!!

I receive your benefit package and open my heart up for your abundant blessings. I ask this for all who read this and my we understand that your way is always loaded with benefits. Amen

Have and incredible week! The Father wants to Bless you! Receive it!
