God’s Word for Today 6 Mar 2024 -Psa 107:1-43 ESV LET THEM THANK THE LORD FOR HIS STEADFAST LOVE Apparently, this psalm seems to refer to the time of the Jews’ return to their homeland after their exile in Babylon. It is a song of thanksgiving to be sung by those who have been saved from some great affliction or danger (v.1-3).  Four separate experiences are mentioned which describes the dangers. We see notes of  prayer, outlines of the answer and concludes with a word of lessons and warning. The first thanksgiving is their account as homeless wanderers. They were lonely, hungry and thirsty when they cried to God.  And God led them to a place of safety and security. Hence, they should now bear in mind that complete satisfaction is found only in God (v.4-9).  The second thanksgiving is when as a people who were in prison or bondage because of their sins. But when they cried to God,  he set them free. Thus, they should remember that no bondage is too strong for God (v.10-16).   The third thanksgiving is their account of being sick who once suffered for their wrongdoings. But have now been healed. They should respond to God’s grace by telling others of what he has done for them (17-22).  The fourth thanksgiving is that of people who have been saved from terrible storms at sea. They should bear in mind that God is the one who brings all peace and calm (v.23-32). When people are wicked, God may turn nature against them, punishing them with thirst and hunger. But when thirsty and hungry people are in need, God sends his generous blessings of nature upon them (v.33-38).  When rulers are wicked, God may turn them into homeless wanderers. But when the poor are oppressed, God lifts their families into places of honour (v.39-43).
