God Helps His People
There is plenty to sing about in
Ps 107-110. First comes the song
of the Redeemed (Ps 107), then
a song dedicated to the God of
might & glory (Ps 108) and a song
of lament over the slanderous
attacks of an enemy (Ps 109).
But how can you sing when the
godless are seemingly getting
away with murder? Remember
with the psalmist David that
the Lord is king (Psalm 110).
Lord, You Help Your People:
O give thanks to the Lord,
for He is good! For His mercy
endures forever. Let the redeemed
of the Lord say so (Ps 107:1-2).
Some wandered in the desert,
lost & homeless. Hungry & thirsty,
they nearly died. Lord, Help!
they Cried in their trouble and He
Rescued them from their distress…
Let them Praise the Lord for his
great love & for all his wonderful
deeds to them. For He satisfies
the longing soul, & fills the hungry
soul with goodness (Ps 107:4-9).
Fools because of their transgression
were afflicted… Then they cried
out to the Lord in their trouble, and
He saved them out of their distresses.
And delivered them from destructions.
Oh that men would give thanks to
the Lord for His goodness (v17-21).
Whoever is wise will Observe these
things and they will understand
the faithful love of the Lord (v43).
Lord, I will recall all the ways
that You have been faithful and
gracious to me. Remind me when
I forget Your wonderful deeds.
Call Your work to my attention
and then anchor it in my memory.
I will recall & Cry unto You for help.
Help me Lord trust that You will
come to my rescue; and I will
Praise Your great love. Amen
Lord, You take care of Your people
and Your workers in amazing ways.
You promise to meet our needs
in the world. And the truth is that
You simply do. It might not be
in the way that we wish, but it
will be done. Help us to Trust
in You and not let the evil one
influence & tell us otherwise. Amen
Lord, help us to Be Wise and
take all this to heart so that we
will Observe in the history of your
people and in our own history
“the faithful love of the Lord”.
Help us lift up our eyes and See
the incredible things You do in
response to our wholehearted
Cries for help. At our wit’s end,
Lord, You glorify yourselves. Amen
