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, and fills the
hungry soul with goodness (v4-9).
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 fr destructions.
Oh that men would give thanks to
the Lord for His goodness (v17-21).
Lord, I will recall all the ways
that You have been Good, and
Merciful to me. Remind me when
I forget Your gracious deeds.
Call Your work to my attention,
anchor it in my memory; and
I will recall & Cry to You for help.
Help me Lord trust that You will
come to my rescue; and I will
Praise Your love & mercy. Amen.
Lord, sometimes, life can seems
like one struggle after another.
When difficulties consume my thots
and I cannot see an end in sight,
help me Lord rely on Your promises.
When I’m faced with problems
I can’t solve, I can still Cry Out
to You for Help and You will answer.
Even when I’m wandering aimlessly
without any help in sight, You will
deliver me from my distress. Amen.
Lord, at times I am a Fool because
of transgressions and were afflicted.
Because of Your unfailing love, You
never give up on me but pursue me.
And when I cry out to You Again and
again, You offer grace and mercy.
Thank you Lord, for leading me
out of distress & darkness and
bringing me into Your light.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
