Psalm 107:1 – O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
The Psalmist of this chapter beautifully enumerates the works of God for His people, Israel. As we read his words, it brings to our minds God’s work of salvation in our own lives:
“They wandered in the wilderness…found no city to dwell in…hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted…THEN THEY CRIED unto the LORD in their trouble…”
“Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death…because they rebelled against the words of God…he brought down their heart…they fell down, and there was none to help. THEN THEY CRIED unto the LORD in their trouble…”
“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they drew near unto the gates of death. THEN THEY CRY unto the LORD in their trouble…”
Do you remember a day when you cried out to the Lord?
I don’t mean did you cry for rescue from a bad situation, or to get a job, or even “Heal me!” when you got a bad diagnosis.
But do you recall the day you realized you were a sinner, and that you were lost, wandering with no direction? Remember when your soul was hungry and thirsty, but nothing filled the gnawing chasm in your soul? Were you in darkness and felt Death’s shadow hovering? Was your rebellious heart brought low? Did you feel utterly alone, with no one to help?
That’s the day I’m referring to.
Did you cry out to the Lord that day? Did you surrender your heart to Him? Did you accept that His death and resurrection were for you?
Are you sure that Heaven is your home because you cried out for salvation?
If so, you understand our verse today! I pray that your life exemplifies it. Pray for me, that mine will too!
