147: Which Person Are You? The Wanderer, Prisoner, Rebel, or Average Joe or Jane (Psalm 107)

Psalm 107 offers us 4 individual types: the wanderer, prisoner, rebel, and average Jo or Jane. By their own devices and choices or by the hand of God, they experience trial, hardship, and in some cases agony to the point of death and apparent destruction.  Curiously, each class of people do the same thing for relief: they cry out to God for deliverance, help, or to save them in their distress. The psalmist repeatedly admonishes them to "give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind." The psalm written so many years ago is powerfully applicable to us 21st century Christians.  Where do you find yourself? Lost and without a home? Perhaps a prodigal, walking away from God? Addicted to a lifestyle or certain habits that never comfort or satisfy you? Outright rebellious and suffering from your own iniquitous behavior? Or just doing life as best  you can, conducting your business knowing God's at the helm when suddenly tragedy strikes? In all cases, as Christians we learn to bend our knee to the God of this universe, trusting Him in every area and aspect of our lives and giving Him full rein to help us to grow and learn. We train our minds and brains to stay fixed on His Truth, not on our situation, our opinions, or our own cleverness. We lean into Him and then we practice praise-filled thinking! *CHOOSE 2 THINK: Find Peace, Joy, Hope, Health & Freedom Every Day! Your 365-day DEVOTIONAL.
