We cannot afford to forget not His benefits

There are some things in life we know we cannot afford to forget. We write down appointments, mark important dates on calendars, set alarms on our phones and make reminders because we know how easy it is for these things to slip our mind.

But Psalm 103 reminds us of something far more important than an appointment or anniversary. David writes, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” David is not speaking to a crowd here. He is speaking to himself. He is reminding his own heart not to forget how good God has been.

That is important because we are often better at remembering what went wrong than remembering what God has done right.
