"Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, that I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your inheritance." (Psalm 106:4, 5)
In other words, I want in on everything You are doing and everything You promise, all, "....the benefit[s]...." The word can mean, "pleasant, agreeable, good, sweet, pleasing." You know what is coming next: This is our Lord Jesus Christ, Who He Is, What He Does when the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, "....visit me with Your salvation...."
In other places this is called, "the blessing of Abraham," which the Bible tells us is for those who are surrendered to Jesus Christ. Notice that Jesus', "salvation," brings, the benefit...." You know that the Hebrew Word for, "salvation," means, "deliverance, help, prosperity, security, victory," all of which are, "the benefit of Your chosen ones."
It is noon time here in the Eastern Time Zone, the "middle" of the day. Much has been done; more to be done in this day. What has been, we know. What is to be, we don't. Yet in the certainties and uncertainties of life you and I in Jesus have, "the benefit of [His] chosen ones." Our Lord Jesus "visited" us with Salvation in His Shed Blood, His death on a Roman cross, His resurrection, which is the guarantee for, "....the benefit of Your chosen ones." Everyone wants a job "with benefits." VOILA!

Father, in Jesus' Name, Your, "benefit," is unmatched. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
