"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men." (Psalm 107:8,15,21,31) I read Psalm 107 recently, and these verses really spoke to me. One reason I noticed them was because the exact same words are used in FOUR different verses in the same chapter. The writer was obviously trying to get a point across! The other reason I noticed them was because of what the rest of the chapter says. You see, Psalm 107 talks about how God delivers us. What struck me was this- when God gives someone deliverance, He wants praise in return! Tonight I am thankful to God for delivering me from an eternity in hell, and giving me a mansion in Heaven!
So, if God has delivered you from something, take a minute to praise Him!
Thank you very much for these most encouraging and inspiring posts. Please keep it up!
