Psalm 107
-Theme:
Thanksgiving and praise is to be heaped upon the God who redeems. Consider the
goodness of the LORD.
-Historical Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm written to
celebrate the Jews’ return from their exile in Babylon.
-*Application* Our God redeems us from our adversaries, and
the redeemed of the LORD should say so. He gathers His people from the north,
south, east, and west to recollect the anointed in glorious array (Psalm
107:2-3). Though we have wandered and transgressed His holy commands; when we
cry out to the LORD in our trouble, He delivers us out of our distress and
straightens out our paths (Psalm 107:6, 13, 19, 28, Proverbs 3:5-6). This is
the song of Israel and for all who believe in the Name of Jesus (Acts 10:34-35).
Our thanksgiving and praise should be continually present for His lovingkindness,
goodness, and wonders, which satisfy the hungry and thirsty soul fully (Psalm
107:9). Rebellion enslaves and afflicts, but the redemptive healing of the LORD
frees and gives complete liberty by His eternal Word (Psalm 107:10-22, 41). God
will establish His people in abundance and blesses with multiplication (Psalm 107:36-39).
The wise will give heed to these things and consider the benefits of a loving
and good God (Psalm 107:43).
Verse to Memorize:
Psalm 107:2, 6, 20, 41
