Psalm 116:8-9

"For you, O LORD, have delivered 
my soul from death, 
my eyes from tears, 
my feet from stumbling, 
that I may walk before the LORD 
in the land of the living."


Sometimes we understand the benefits of salvation only in an eternal (after-death) sense, but I like that these verses go beyond that... to indicate the benefits of knowing and relying on God in THIS life. He delivers my eyes from tears. I no longer have to stumble through life. I can now be in the presence of God Almighty here on Earth - today, right now, forever... because I walk in righteousness as a result of God's mercy and Christ's sacrifice! How d'ya like THEM apples?!
