Psalm
107 – Be Thankful
How
easy it is to take God’s mercy for granted! Ingratitude seems to be natural to
the sinful human heart. (Rom. 1:21ff).
Being
lost in the wilderness without food or drink would be a frightful experience.
God not only saved the Israelites but led them to the safety of the city. Did
they take time to thank Him?
The
prisoners were in prison because they had rebelled against God’s will, so they
deserved to suffer. But when they cried out to God, He heard them and set them
free. Did they take time to thank Him?
We
move from the prison to the hospital where people were dying because of their
foolish way of life. God mercifully healed them. Did they take time to thank
Him?
Dangers
on the water usually exceed danger on the land, for where can you go for help
in the middle of a violent storm. You can only look up, which is what they did,
and the Lord rescued them. He calmed the storm, and He brought them to their
desired destination (John 6:15-21).
Only
God can send the rain that turns the wilderness into a garden, and only God can
make the cattle multiply We eat and are full, but do we thank the Lord for
giving us food. (Deut. 6:10-13)? Be wise and understand the loving kindness of
the Lord.
Psalm
108 – A Steadfast Heart
A
steadfast heart is a singing heart because confidence in God gives you
something to sing about. David arose early in the morning to sing to the Lord. Worship
is good preparation for warfare.
God
heard the voice of David, and then David listened to the voice of God. It was a
word of assurance as the king went out to battle: “All nations are mine, and I
can do with them as I please.”
God
leads us into the battle, helps us capture the enemy’s strongholds, and gives
us the victory. It was true for David, and it is true for us today.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
