Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love,
(Psalm 107: 7, 15, 21, 31, NIV)
Psalm 107 begins the PRAISE section of the 44 psalms in
this section of the psalter. It is FULL of praise in spite of difficult circumstances.
The psalmist seeks to motivate Lord’s redeemed to praise
Him by remembering / recalling / reviewing His mighty acts. I’ve been camped out
here for several days with several different teas in my speckleware cuppas, as God has used Psalm 107 to prompt prayers.
Med-TEA-tation is the primary tea. Using this psalm for meditation and prayer, I transitioned to praying specifically for a few friends. I began to seen reasons to praise the LORD---to
serve him a cuppa gra-TEA-tude on their behalf.
Captivi-TEA---The Lord delivers his own from
captivity---God sets each one free by providing liber-TEA for those held in captivity,
first from the Babylonians and later from their own afflictions and iniquities.
Liber-TEA continues to be needed in our own lives. Many cry out to
Him for release from the distresses of fears, family concerns and even chronic
physical illnesses. Others need for Him to break the chains of depression that
they might be brought out from the mental darkness and deep gloom of emotional despair.
Med-TEA-tation easily led to a cuppa gra-TEA-tude. A cuppa gra-TEA-tude for both
God’s goodness and His enduring love as Psalm 107 proclaims.
