Happy Friday!

It’s the weekend and God has amazing benefits in store for you! Psalms 103:2-4 (NKJV) says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.”

If the Psalmist told us not to forget his benefits, then it must be easy to do so. It’s similar to a person working at a job that offers an array of benefits to its employees. However, if an employee never reads their benefits package and follows through with the process, they won’t enjoy all the benefits that have been provided for them.

Many Christians live that way. They have forgotten their benefits and are not enjoying all the wonderful things God has provided for them. Today, make a decision to not allow yourself to forget His benefits. How? By finding time and ways every day to remind yourself of God’s wonderful benefits for you.

In today’s devotional podcast, I share more about easy and practical ways that will help you remind yourself of God’s benefits. Stream it. You need to hear it and apply it. Share it with someone you know that needs to hear it and be encouraged.

I am praying for you! Remember to pray the daily prayer for 2026. After you pray the daily prayer, as I shared above, pause and take time to listen. Always remember, prayer is not complete until you take time to listen.

We are reading through the Bible this year. Today’s reading plan is located at the bottom of this newsletter. If you want a pdf print out of the plan, click here.

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles. 

We are reading through the Books of Joshua & Judges in May. Today, read Joshua 23 & 24.
