2 Chronicles 8-11; Psalm 107
*Click here to read these passages:
I love the repeated pattern of God’s rescue found in Psalm 107
used to show God’s goodness and love.
The wanderers in the desert who are hungry and thirsty … He led
them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. He satisfies the thirsty and fills the
hungry with good things.
The prisoners suffering in chains … He brought them out of
darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
The rebellious fools with self inflicted problems … He sent forth
his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
The sea merchants caught in a storm … He stilled the storm to a
whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. He guided them to their desired haven.
“Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his
wonderful deeds for men.”
There is another important part to this pattern that should not go
ignored. In each example it says,
“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their
distress.”
“Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great
love of the Lord.”
Thinking today about the ways God has rescued me, about His
goodness, and about His great love for me. Also crying out to the Lord today for a certain friend on my
heart who needs His rescue.
