A CALL TO GIVE THANKS (Psalm 107)

There are four different groups of people called to thank God:

Travelers lost in the desert (Ps. 4-9),

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; 

they found no city to dwell in. 

Hungry and thirsty, 

their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,

and He delivered them out of their distresses.

Prisoners in bondage (Ps. 10-16),

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 

being bound in affliction and iron;

Then they cried unto 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 brake their bands in sunder.

Sick people made well (Ps.17-22)

Fools because of their transgression, 

and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; 

and they draw near unto the gates of death.

He sent His word, and healed them,

and delivered them from their destructions.

Sailors in a storm (Ps. 23-32).

They that go down to the sea in ships, 

that do business in great waters; 

These see the works of the LORD, 

and His wonders in the deep. 

For He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, 

which lifteth up the waves thereof.

 They reel to and fro, 

and stagger like a drunken man, 

and are at their wits' end.

Then they cry unto the LORD

in their trouble,

and He bringeth them

out of their distresses.

He maketh the storm a calm,

so that the waves thereof are still.

Q: Are you Lost in the Desert of Life, in the Bondage of your Sins, Sick in the Soul with Sin and tossed to and fro in the Stormy Waters of Life?
