"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 31 July 2011"
Today's Blog Title: "Praise of the Redeemed"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 107:1-43
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 107:13 "Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distress."
Psalm 107 is a wisdom psalm and shares the form and many of the same themes as Psalm 105 and 106. After an initial call to praise in verses 1-3, the psalmist lists the various types of distresses from which the Lord rescues His people. These include: redemption from wandering in verses 4-9, from Prison verses 10-16, from deadly psychological misery verses 17-22 and from the story seas in verses 23-32.
The psalmist calls the redeemed to praise God. In a series of vivid images he contrasts the lost state with the release that redemption brings. Exercising His power over nature, God will remake our barren earth and revitalize our barren lives.
This psalm has eight parts: (1) a celebration of God's enduring love (verses 1-3); (2) affirmation that God meets the needs of those who wander in the wilderness (verses 4-9); (3) assurance that God deliverers those in exile or in prison (verses10-16); (5) God's salvation for those caught in storms (verses 17-22); (6) God's provision for those in barren lands (verses 33-38); (7) an affirmation that God multiplies people who are diminished (verse 39-42); (8) a call to rediscover the royal love of God.
Today's Hymn: "Victory In Jesus" (verse 2)
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing
How He made the lame to walk again, and cause the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory
O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever
He sought me and bought, with His redeeming blood;
He loved me 'ere I knew him, and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we truly are that we as Christians have the eternal victory in Jesus and we obtain once we accepted Him into our lives. Thank You Jesus not only for cleansing of our sins with your blood, but the fact that because of of your glorious resurrection you conquered death and sin and defeated Satan forevermore.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "We will never discover anything more satisfying than the Lord who will meet all our needs"
