Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So (Psalm 107) | Charles Spurgeon

Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 107Charles Spurgeon’s exposition of Psalm 107 in "The Treasury of David" explores this poetic song of thanksgiving, which is dedicated to the redeemed of the Lord. The psalm primarily magnifies God for spiritual blessings, using temporal deliverances as types and shadows of His eternal mercy. The composition is structurally divided into sections that vividly describe four classes of people who face extreme peril, cry out to the Lord in their distress, and are miraculously delivered.The first group consists of lost travellers wandering in a solitary desert, exhausted by hunger and thirst. When they cry out, God leads them to a city of habitation, symbolizing the spiritual rest found in Jesus Christ. The second group represents prisoners bound in affliction and iron because of their rebellion against the words of God. In their helpless despair, they cry for mercy, and God breaks their brass gates and iron bars, illustrating complete deliverance from the bondage of sin.The third group portrays sick individuals who, due to their foolish transgressions, draw near to the gates of death and abhor all food. The Lord sends His word to heal them, mirroring the spiritual restoration provided by Christ, the Great Physician. Finally, the psalm describes mariners caught in a violent tempest on the sea, staggering like drunken men and brought to their wit's end. God calms the storm and brings them to their desired haven, just as He guides tempest-tossed souls to eternal peace.The concluding verses reflect on God's sovereignty over nature and human circumstances, showing how He turns fruitful lands into barrenness for the wicked, yet transforms deserts into water springs for the needy. Ultimately, the psalm teaches that those who are truly wise will carefully observe these providential dealings and come to a deeper understanding of the lovingkindness of the Lord.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
