TOPIC: Spiritual and Material
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.
Psalm 103:2
Recommended Reading: Psalm 103:1-5
We live in a world that is both material and spiritual. On the material side, we access our world through our five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. It is no wonder the apostle John warned about “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life”—“all that is in the world” (1 John 2:16). It is easy to be enticed by the things of this world, to think they will bless our life.
But the Bible says that God’s blessings are both material and spiritual. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from destruction, loves us, shows compassion to us, satisfies our life with good things, and renews our youth (Psalm 103:3-5). The world cannot offer anything to compare with the dual dimensions of God’s blessings—spiritual and material. When we are tempted to seek blessing and contentment in the things of this world, we need to look to God’s promised blessings.
Look around you today and count your blessings. Thank God for His provision and commit all your needs to Him.
The vast majority of mankind never gives a thought of gratitude towards God for all His care and blessings. – Donald Grey Barnhouse
