Psalm 107 starts off by encouraging those who have been redeemed by the Lord, those who have experienced His love to speak out and tell others about it (vv.1-2, 32). It goes on to give 4 examples of different situations wherein the Lord showed his love to people (vv. 4-32). The final two sections of the psalm explain God’s sovereignty and power over creation and people. We see how God can bring devastation, such as rivers into deserts & springs of water into dry and thirsty lands, etc (vv. 33-34). But He can also turn deserts into pools of water, etc (v. 35). It caps off the chapter by saying that those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord (v.43)
- When we experience hardship in our lives’ it’s not always because we did something wrong or are in sin. John 9 tells the story of the the man who was born blind, wherein Jesus makes it clear to the people that this bad situation of blindness was not caused by his sin or his parents, it was so that God’s power could be displayed in his life (Jn 9:3)
- Our lives are like a letter being written that people can see and recognize the good work among us. It is written not with pen and ink but with the Spirit of the living God. It is not carved on tablets of stone but written on human hands (2 Cor. vv. 2-3)

Throughout the years
Throughout the tears
You've been working
You've been near
Throughout the good
Throughout the bad
You've been the best we've ever had
Your faithful love has been a guiding light for us
Your faithful love has been our constant peace and trust
Let them praise the Lord for His great love
And for the wonderful things He has done
For They will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord
