PSALM 107:1-11, 41-43

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story.
[PSALM 107:2]

GOD'S LOVING DEEDS
----------------------------
They sit side by side on Ball Street in my city—the Grand Ideas Garden and the county jail. My friend Joann loved both places. She loved to sit in the garden, thinking about the goodness of God and her love for Him because of what He'd done in her life. She also loved to share with the women in the jail and tell her story of God redeeming her life after many bad choices and wandering far from Him. Often, she would tell me of her passion: her dream that all the women there would someday understand and experience the love God for them personally.
The psalmist told his fellow Israelites to "tell their story" of how God redeemed them from their enemies (PSALM 107:2). They had "wandered in desert wastelands," "they were hungry and thristy, and their lives ebbed away" (VV. 4-5). At times they rebelled against God, and He disciplined them (VV. 10-12). Yet every time "they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, . . . he delivered them from their distress" (V. 6). They had much to give God thanks for and to talk about the others. As the Israelites learned, and we can learn also, He has a love that will never let us go.
We too can take opportunities to "ponder the loving deeds of the LORD" toward us (V. 43), give thanks to Him, and tell our own story of His rescue. ~ANNE CETAS; ~NIV

What has God done for you to transform your
life? Who can you share your story with?

You are so good, and what You've done for me is worth
telling others about, dear God. Please give me the
words and open my mouth to speak about You.
