Psalm 107:15-17 "Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! (16) For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. (17) Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted."
What is God saying to us? Today's devotion might be short, but it says a
lot. The Lord is saying that He delivers us time and again and then what do we
do? We go right back to the same old stuff.
We cannot deliver ourselves, but even after the Lord gives us great
deliverance, we turn right back to the same thing. What do we do? "Then
they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them
out of their distresses." (Psalm 107:19)
If I would be more diligent in doing that in which we are instructed in
verse 15, then I might not find myself in the situation of having to do that
which is found in verse 19.
"Oh that men would praise the LORD for his
goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of
men!"
