Ever notice how quickly we forget the amazing things God has already done for us? Our minds race forward to the next need, the next prayer request, the next challenge—while the evidence of His faithfulness piles up behind us, unacknowledged and underappreciated.

In this soul-stirring devotional, we explore Psalm 103:2-5, where David reminds himself (and us) to "never forget the good things he does for me." This isn't just casual advice—it's a spiritual practice that transforms our perspective. The psalm walks us through a comprehensive list of God's benefits: forgiveness of sins, healing of diseases, redemption from death, crowning us with love and tender mercies, and filling our lives with good things. These aren't abstract theological concepts but personal experiences that we've all tasted in some measure.

Life moves relentlessly fast, creating a kind of spiritual amnesia where yesterday's miracles fade behind tomorrow's worries. But what if remembering is actually an act of faith? What if pausing to reflect on God's track record of goodness is the very thing that equips you to face your current challenges? Today's devotional serves as that necessary reset button, slowing us down to recognize that the same God who has been faithful isn't about to stop now. Take these few minutes to let gratitude replace anxiety, to let praise be louder than your worries, and to let remembrance fuel your faith for whatever lies ahead. Your heart will be lighter for it.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:24.684
Today is Day 211.

00:00:25.547 --> 00:00:26.951
Don't forget his benefits.

00:00:26.951 --> 00:00:34.762
From Psalm 103, verses 2 through 5 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.762 --> 00:00:36.624
Let all that I am praise the Lord.

00:00:36.624 --> 00:00:39.807
May I never forget the good things he does for me.

00:00:39.807 --> 00:00:43.810
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:49.015
He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

00:00:49.015 --> 00:00:54.225
He fills my life with good things.

00:00:54.246 --> 00:01:00.862
Life moves fast, so fast sometimes that we forget what God has already done.

00:01:00.862 --> 00:01:03.807
Psalm 103 is like a spiritual reset button.

00:01:03.807 --> 00:01:06.852
It slows us down and it reminds us.

00:01:06.852 --> 00:01:08.334
Don't forget.

00:01:08.334 --> 00:01:13.191
Don't forget how far you've come.

00:01:13.191 --> 00:01:15.362
Don't forget how many times you've been forgiven.

00:01:15.362 --> 00:01:24.644
Don't forget the moments he healed what you didn't think could be healed or how he pulled you out of what you thought was over.

00:01:24.644 --> 00:01:31.682
We get so caught up in what we still need that we forget to thank him for what he's already given.

00:01:31.682 --> 00:01:34.522
And look what he's done.

00:01:34.522 --> 00:01:43.670
He's forgiven, he's healed, rescued, loved, crowned, satisfied.

00:01:45.171 --> 00:01:46.534
That's not a partial list.

00:01:46.534 --> 00:01:50.469
It's a full picture of God's goodness in your life.

00:01:50.469 --> 00:02:08.229
So today, take a pause, not to ask but to remember, to praise, to reflect, because when you start remembering his benefits, your faith grows stronger and your heart gets lighter.

00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:13.086
He's been faithful and he's not about to stop now.

00:02:13.086 --> 00:02:27.990
Pray with me, lord, help me not to forget, remind me of the ways you've shown up in my life again and again, fill me with gratitude and let my praise be louder than my worries.

00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:33.412
Today, in Jesus' name, I pray, amen.

00:02:33.412 --> 00:02:41.050
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
