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

She watched her family coming to the supper table. Earlier in the afternoon, this mom started preparing the evening meal.  Conscious of the health needs of her family, she even asked the Lord to give her wisdom as to what would be healthy and tasty. As her children gathered, she overheard one of her sons say to his friend (who was a surprise visitor), “I told you that you would like whatever my mom made for us. She cooks like this all the time.” Her husband winked and nodded, and the rest of the family sat down for prayer before the meal. Quietly she whispered, “Thank you Lord for the way you have blessed us, even with having our young visitor. You indeed have loaded us with benefits and blessings.” With that the family enjoyed supper together and even talked about God’s goodness.

For today: Whether you are a family of one or many remember that it is the Lord who loads you with benefits
