Psalm 107 is a wonderful picture of how God rescues us from sin and saves us for Himself.
The psalm describes how four different groups called out to the Lord in their trouble, and the Lord's deliverance for each of these groups.
verses 4-9 depict those who wandered in barren places
verses 10-16 depict those who sat in darkness
verses 17-22 depict those who suffered for their own folly
verses 23-32 depict those who went down to the sea in ships
Read this psalm and see which scenario reflected your situation most. Or perhaps several of these groups may reflect the state a person may have been in.
In each of the scenarios you will notice there is a predicament, plea, pardon, and then praise.
Try to determine what each of them are. Share with us your findings.
This Psalm is so rich. I am so very thankful for my salvation. Today, ponder the greatness of God's work in you and His saving grace to you. Let this Psalm be a remembrance of His steadfast love for you.
Psalm 107:13-14
"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart."
Psalm 107:1
"Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!"
Soli Deo Gloria.
