Benefits

The Lord gives justice to his people and has compassion on those who serve him. ~ Psalm 135:14 (CEB)

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. ~ 1 Corinthians 1:30 (NLT)
Lord, there are so many benefits to serving you. We don't serve you so that we can get benefits from you. We can't, however, help but notice how generous you are. There is just so much that comes to us through Christ Jesus. Even though I sometimes do not not live out the purity and holiness that you have given to me, there is nothing greater in life than your benefit package. More than anything else, I want to take full advantage of all that you provide. Keep me focused on doing that. Amen.
