… Amen. Follow along as I read. Book 5, Psalm 107. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from trouble, and gathered in from the lands from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. And now I want you to notice, I'll explain this in more detail in a moment, but notice there are going to be four scenes, and they each begin with some, and then they're going to follow the same pattern. You're going to hear about distress and trouble, then crying out to the Lord, and then His deliverance. So, here's the first. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in, hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man, for He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things. …
… That's what they get. He cuts through the bars of iron. Okay? Now look at the third group. Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. Now these people are sick. It's a little interesting. It's very interesting, actually. because these people, it says they're sick, they loathe all food, verse 18. And that means that they really are dying. They are wasting away physically. But it's as a result of foolishness, verse 17. These are more like people who've ruined their lives, ruined their bodies through overwork or addiction or something. And look what heals them. What they need is a healer. But what they're actually getting, in a sense, is a counselor. Because what heals them, look carefully, he sent forth his word. They get some kind of word, they get some kind of advice that heals them. They get some kind of loving, healing counselor. So the first group needs a father, the second group needs a king, the third group needs a loving, a nurse, a counselor, a person at the side. …
… he has certainly allowed it because our God is over everything. I was reading Psalm 107, verses 24 and following. These see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind which lifteth up the waves thereof. It's God who is the master of the winds and the waves. And he's the one who causes storms to come. You know it is a shallow theology. A very shallow theology that says if we're in the will of God. That we're just going to sail always smoothly on the sea of life. will have no sickness, no sorrow, no disappointment, no separation. There'll be no death in our family. There'll be no problems. And the Joy Boys get on television and say, if you just get right with God and believe God and send me an offering, you'll never be sick. Everything will be fine. And this is the gospel of cash and Cadillacs, tranquility. Friend, there's a Greek word for that, and it's baloney. …
… they that do business in great waters, these see the wonders of the Lord and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the winds thereof. They mount up to the heavens. They go down again into the depths. Their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad, because they be quiet, for he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Difference in the reaction of those who know the Lord, and those who don't know the Lord when they get in a storm. Maybe if you're in a storm right now, you might want to read this psalm. It'd be a great blessing to you, Psalm 107. Now let's go to the last thing very quickly. …
