In our last visit we saw that a phrase repeated 4 times in Psalm 107 helps you understand what the Psalmist was trying to communicate.  In each case he describes people who are in different circumstances.

Some, verses 4-9, were wandering in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle.  They were lost and in desperate straights.  When they cried out to God He delivered them from their distress.  He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. 

Others, verses 10-16, were prisoners, in deepest gloom.  They were in this state because they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.  When they cried out to God He saved them, brought them out of their darkness and gloom and broke their chains.

A third group, verses 17-22, were identified as fools, who through rebellion had brought themselves to death’s door.  When they cried out to God He saved them, gave them His word and rescued them from the grave.

The fourth group, verses 22-42, went out on an adventure, but soon found themselves in a storm that was so perilous their courage melted away.  At wits’ end they cried out to God and He brought them out of their distress, stilled the storm and guided them to their desired haven.

In each case, whether their negative circumstances were self-inflicted or innocently encountered, when they cried out to God He answered.  Whenever we face difficulty, we would be wise to count on the unfailing love of God to intervene so we might experience His grace and will for us.
