Dual Dimension of God
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Psalm 103:2
It is easy to be enticed by the things of this world, after all there is just so much of it. 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. But when the Psalmist encourages us to bless the Lord and forget not all His benefits, we are not to focus on the material blessings. The Bible says that God’s blessings are both material and spiritual.
God 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. 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.
