Psalms 107 - God's Deep Love

Aug. 28, 2017 Monday Message:

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Psalms 107:1 NIV

It seems that the closer we are to God, the better life goes. And the farther we are from God, the more difficulties fall into our lives.

Psalm 107 goes into great detail about the plight of the Hebrew people and the predicaments in which they found themselves when they drifted farther from God. But each story also tells how God rescued them in their time of great need. “They cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.” v6 “Give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love.” v8a

Jesus offered us similar assurance when he echoed the words of God: “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Deut. 31:6b, Matt. 28:20b

Once we’re adopted into the Holy Family, we have assurance of salvation – forever! God isn’t just a fair-weather friend. In fact, God already knows that your life will experience ups and downs. The Good News is that he’s not going anywhere, and neither is his Son. He is our God and we are his people, no matter what!

“If you are really wise, you’ll think this over — it’s time you appreciated God’s deep love.” Ps. 107:43 MSG
