He daily loads us with benefits

We are constantly exposed to peril. “Plagues and death around us fly.” God preserves us from perils to the body. Our thoughts — whither might they go? They might in a moment lead us into heresies and foul blasphemies. It is no little thing to be preserved from that spiritual pestilence that walketh both in darkness and the noonday. Glory be to God, who sends us temporal and spiritual benefits so numerous, and each one so weighty, that eye cannot say less than this, “That he daily loadeth us with his benefits, until we seem bowed down to the earth under a joyful sense of obligation to his mercy.” “He loadeth us with benefits.” [Charles Spurgeon]
