THEME: PRAISE THE LORD
Psalms 107:1-16 NKJV
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness. Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons— Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High, Therefore He brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains in pieces. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.”
INSIGHT
–The writer of this psalm passionately pleads with the people to give thanks and praise to God, for He is good. His goodness is revealed throughout the rest of this psalm. Specifically, the psalmist invites us the redeemed of the Lord by His Grace to thank to God and declare that we are indeed redeemed. It would be ungrateful and wrong to be silent about so great a work. The psalmist describes four distinct aspects of God’s redemption rescue, to the lost, to the guilty, to the sick, to the storm-tossed and therefore healed, and saved from eternal condemnation. The redeemed of the LORD should forever give praise to God.
PRAYER
We give praise to You Lord for You are Good and Your mercies endures forever. We give praise to You Lord for only You are our God and there is none besides You. You have redeemed us from the curse of sin and saved us from eternal condemnation, we thank You dear Lord Jesus and give You honor and praise. May You save all Your people and deliver us from every evil. May You break every chain and level every mountain. We pray for all our school going children that You may be with them and protect them from every evil and shield them with Your hedge of fire. May You cover all roads, railways and airways with Your precious blood and preserve them from accidents and incidents. May You bless the work of our hands and enhance our productivity that we may produce a hundred-fold. May You grant us all our requests and hearts desires. We honor You Lord and give You praise, and it is in Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen
