The Watered Soul

Finding Refreshment in the Word

Lest We Forget

By

Where has your focus been lately? Have your eyes been glued to all the disorder, dis-ease, and seemingly disconnected happening around you? Has what’s wrong and what’s missing been consuming your thoughts and conversation?

When we aim our hearts and minds to the empty and unfulfilled places or promises in our lives, it’s easy to forget about all the many beneficial things already in our possession.

Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all his benefits. (Psalms 103:2 ESV)

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. (Psalms 103:2 NLT)

So life is not happening quite the way you dream but is not the Lord still worthy of your praise? Yes there are still some missing pieces from your life puzzle that you can’t manage to connect but is there not still good things the Lord does for you daily?

Think on those things! Forget not your benefit package!

    My mind has mostly been trying to focus on the Spirit, so all in all, I’m having a pretty good week!

    Prior to my recent trip to Ecuador my mind was consumed by all sorts of negative thinking about that trip. Now that it’s over I can once again proclaim that God is great and always blesses me. My worries were silly human fears and my eyes have been opened to the greater possibilities that God has to offer me in my life. Praise Him always!

    Good, good words! There’s been quite a lot lately that’s distracted me – discouragement, disorder, discontent – and my heavenly perspective has been a little blurry.

    Gotta remember to put on my *faith glasses* every day, and focus on the One Who Sees Me!

    GOD BLESS!

      Oh I can relate Sharon. This weekend I allowed some disorder to cloud my vision but I’m grateful for God’s gentle reminder to change my focus.

      That’s very true. I was talking with someone earlier today and that were talking about the importance of staying connected to the vine.

      Being in the middle of the plan not knowing exactly where we fit in can be uneasy but He’s assured us He knows exactly what he’s doing.

      I needed that reminder Angel. Over the weekend I got my eyes glued on the wrong things. Only to awake with this reminder to change my focus.

    I’m finally learning that when I keep my eyes on Jesus that the disjointedness of this world doesn’t effect me as much. When I start becoming frustrated, I know that my focus is off its mark! Thank you for this reminder!
