Psalm 107 focuses on the idea of God’s steadfast love enduring forever, with four references to times when people “cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress“. In the desert, under hard labour in prison, foolish and starving, and in a boat on a stormy sea; on all occasions that the Israelites called to God for help, He delivered them from the difficulty they faced. On each occasion, the Psalmist exhorts the people to “Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man”.
This Psalm reminds us that, no matter what circumstances we’re in, we can cry to God for help and He will hear us. It also highlights the need to praise and thank God. “The upright see it and are glad…Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord”
