Talk About It!

"Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from trouble" (Psa 107:2).

Some wandered in the desert. Hungry and thirsty. They cried unto the LORD and He led them to a city. He satisfied their longing souls and filled their hungry souls with good things (v 4-9).

Some sat in darkness, imprisoned because of their rebellion to God. He brought affliction on them. When they cried to Him, He set them free (v 10-16).

Some were fools because of sinful choices. They suffered because of their sins. When they cried to the LORD, He delivered and healed them (v 17-22).

Some were caught up in their business and saw God's power in the waves. They lost control of everything. Their courage melted away. They were at their wits' end. When they called on Him, He calmed the sea (v 23-32).

No matter the circumstances or the trials that the LORD brings, He will deliver those who call upon Him.

So where are you right now?

Wandering about aimlessly. Knowing that there must be something better. Longing for something to fill the emptiness in your life.

Turned your back on God. Had enough of that church stuff. Been hurt by too much religion. Decided to go your own way.

Sitting in a jail cell, because you broke the law. Lying in a hospital bed because of the abuses you've put your body through. At home alone because you've driven friends and family away with your anger.

Busy with your career. Wondering if you'll survive the next downturn. Lost your job. Seeing the bank account dry up. Lost your home.

Little hope left. Hanging on to the end of the rope. Thinking of wrapping it around your neck.

Read Psalm 107.

It recounts people in the same place as you are and what they did about it.

They called out to God.

He helped them. He rescued them. He delivered them. He satisfied them.

And their response?

Tell everyone about it.

So if you're one of those "redeemed of the LORD," shout it out! Tell everyone about the greatness of God and how He changed you.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so!
