Psalm 107


10-29

"Some lived in deepest darkness, bound in cruel irons
because they defied the word of God,
spurned the counsel of the Most High.
He humbled their hearts through suffering;
they stumbled with no one to help.
In their adversity they cried to the Lord, and He rescued them from their troubles.
He brought them out of deepest darkness,
broke their bonds asunder.
Let them praise the Lord for His steadfast love,
His wondrous deeds for mankind,
For He shattered gates of bronze,
He broke their iron bars.

There were fools who suffered for thier sinful way,
and for their iniquities.
All food was loathsome to them;
they reached the gates of death.
In their adversity they cried to the Lord and He saved them from their troubles.
He gave an order and healed them;
He delivered them from the pits.
Let them praise the Lord for His steadfast love,
His wondrous deeds for mankind.
Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices
and tell His deeds in joyful song.

Others go down to the sea in ships,
ply their trade in the mighty waters'
they have seen the works of the Lord
and His wonders in the deep.
By His word He raised a storm wind
that made the waves surge.
Mounding up to the heaven,
plunging down to the depths,
disgorging in their misery,
they reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
all their skill to no avail.
In their adversity they cried to the Lord, and He saved them from their troubles.
He reduced the storm to a whisper;
the waves were stilled."


Psalm 107.. is how I know God will rescue me.
No matter how stubborn i've been, how long
i have refused to listen and obey him...
When we feel like giving up, when we
feel that this 'christian' thing is something
we can't live up to anymore and were
ready to quit... God will hear us when we
cry out to him. He will rescue us.

pledge bro im way stoked your blogging because i think its a good step towards journaling-writing your prayers to God daily. For me blogging can be hand in hand with devoing, when i'm not blogging I check myself-am I devoing? Invest your time and thoughts in God everyday and He will draw near to you. I also love reading People's comments; they can provide so much encouragement and insight! Don't forget to check out other people's blog, you can learn a lot by others' trials.
