February 11, 2005 Psalm 107:1-22
Psalm 107:1-2 “O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, those he redeemed from trouble.”
What do we do in times of trouble and distress? Often these are the time we turn to God for help. But is God our last resort or is He in our first prayers? We do give thanks for God’s unfailing love. Again and again it is written that God delivered His people from their distress; whether it was hunger and thirst, the chains of slavery, a tempest at sea, or a harvest that failed due to drought.
And then do we remember to give thanks every day for all God’s good? His love endures always and forever, but does ours? Too often we forget about God, forget to thank Him for all the good in our lives. And when the next crisis arises, we are asking for His help again. Include God in your thoughts and prayers every day, thank Him for His love.
Dearest God, I am so grateful for all the good in my life. You are my source of help in times of trouble and distress. Help us to lean on you always. This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
