Psalm 107 begins by saying, by exhorting "Oh give thanks to the LORD for He is good!" And then commanding "Let the redeemed of the LORD say so." Say what? That God is GOOD!
Then the Psalm goes on to give four examples of people in trouble . . . people who cry out to the LORD. In every case when they cry out God hears and answers. Then comes the refrain:
Oh that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men!"
Just now I am in trouble . . . in a spiritual and physical and relational crisis . . . praying for a loved one's physical healing . . .praying God to intervene in a desperate situation. It is for all those involved a Gethsemene.
I want to affirm here and now that God is GOOD! His mercy endures forever! I desperately want God to give a miracle! I ask God for the faith we need to see God's GLORY shone (John 11:40).
