150 Days of Psalms - Psalm 107

There are several different scenarios described in this psalm. There were people wandering in the wilderness, others were in prison, foolish ones were afflicted because of their rebellious ways and their sins, some were on ships at sea and a storm came and was about to sink the ship...

In each case God delivered/rescued/helped them. The response called for in each case was the same.

v.8 Let them give thanks to the Lord
for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.

v.15 Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.

v.21 Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.

v.31 Let them give thanks to the Lord

for His faithful love
and His wonderful works for all humanity.

The final instructions are for all of us
v.43 Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things
and consider the Lord's acts of faithful love.

Whether our troubles are from our own doing or if they are an accident, like getting caught out in a storm, when we turn to the Lord, He will rescue, heal, deliver and then we need to be sure and thank Him - not only for what He has done for us, but for what He has done for everyone.
