A Closer Walk with Christ in 2026
Psalms 107:6-9
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
The Psalmist found a wonderful truth in Psalm 107. We often see God’s hand in restoring people from troubles which they have to go through. The Israelites had been scattered, like many people who have had to leave their homes before disasters came. Here we see the people were brought back to their homes, and they realized that God had answered prayer for them during the troublous times which had overcome them. They cried out to the Lord, and He delivered them out of all their distresses. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
We can have that same trust in our Lord, for He is a merciful God; and He loves His children. He wants us to call on Him when we are in need. Have you learned to call on the Lord in times of trial? God is always faithful, and He will give what is needed. Sometimes it is deliverance from the trial. Sometimes it is His peace through the storm. Sometimes it is His grace as we go through the trial. Whatever the need, God will always be there and wants us to seek Him and find the help we need in the day of trouble.
God is a God of grace! He loves us and wants to help us in our time of need. So He tells us in Hebrews 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Once we have had our prayers answered, we need to thank the Lord for His mercy and grace, because it is He who is our Deliverer and satisfies our souls with good things.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness (Psalms 107:8-9).
