PSALM 107
This psalm speaks of four different types of people in distress an how God rescues them wanderers (107:4-9), Prisoners (107:10-16).the sick (107:17-20 and the storm-tossed (107:23-30).No matter how extreme our calamity.God is able to break through to help us. He is loving an kind to those who are distressed.
These psalms praise God's work, recount the blessings of righteous living, thank God for deliverance, and praise God for his wonderful Word. These psalms remind us that the best sacrifice we can offer to God is a faithful and obedient life.
Thankfulness to God should constantly be on our lips of those whom he has saved.
(1). Give thank to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever. (2). Let the redeemed of the Lord say so--those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
Let the redeemed of the Lord live say God has done so much for us, and we have so much for which to thank him (see psalm 103). He wants us to tell everyone all that he has done. These verses are not so much a mandate to witness as a declaration that when we live in God's presence we will not be able to keep this glorious experience to ourselves (see Acts 1:8-2 Corinthians 5:18-20). What has God done for you? is someone you can tell?
Those he gathered from the lands, from East and West, from North and South. Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. to a city where they could settle.and his wonderful deeds for men, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Lost, hungry, thirsty,and exhausted, these wanderers typify the Israelites in exile. But they also typify anyone who not found the satisfaction that come from knowing Go. Anyone who recognizes his or her own lostness can receive the offer of Jesus to satisfy these needs. Jesus is the way (John 14:5). the bread from heaven (John 6:33-35)., the living water (JOHN 4:10-14), and the giver of rest (Matthew 11:28-30)> have you received his life-giving offer?
(107:32. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.
Those who have never truly suffered may not appreciate God as much as those who have matured under hardship. Those who have seen God work in times of distress have a deeper insight into his loving-kindness,. If you have experienced great trials, you have the potential for great praise.
