Psalm 107  A little over 3 years ago I wrote about this psalm (  see Sept. 23, 2013).   I noted that there are 4 groups of people:
v4-9  The wanderers
v10-15 The prisoners
v17-22 The foolish
v23-31 The stricken

Each group cries out to God and He rescues them.. because of His lovingkindness.

Verse 2 " Let the redeemed of the Lord say so..."   To say that the Lord is good and to give Him thanks.
We give Him thanks because:
He delivers us from distresses. ( v6,13,19,28)
He leads us by "straight ways" ( v7)
He satisfies our thirsty souls.(v9)
He fills us hungry souls with what is good. (v9)
He brings us out of darkness. (v14)
He breaks our bonds. (v14)
He shatters the prison gates. (v16)
He sends His word. (v20)
He heals us. (v20)
He delivers us. (v20)
He stills the storms.  (v29)
He quiets the waves. (v29)
He guides us home. (v30)

What a Mighty God we serve!
He is good!
Lord, You are our fortress and our deliverer, our help in Whom we can trust.
Bless us with fruitful lives in Your service.  Grant to us Your strength to serve You faithfully today and every day.  We give You our thanks and our praise, in the Name of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ,
Amen.
