Psalms 107:7
Psalms 107:7
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
This verse depicts a group of people who are lost in the wilderness, wandering aimlessly without any direction or purpose. They are thirsty and hungry, and their souls faint within them. They cry out to the Lord in their distress, and He responds by leading them to a city of refuge where they can find rest and satisfaction. It is a reminder of God's provision and care for His people even in the most desolate and difficult situations. Throughout the history of Israel, the nation passed through countless cycles of rebellion against God, followed by retribution, repentance, and restoration. In response to Israel's sin of unbelief and murmuring against Him, the Lord graciously chastened His people for a season. He then responded to their cries and restored them into sweet fellowship with Himself. Throughout the Bible, we see God's unwavering faithfulness towards His people, whether it be towards Israel or the Church, the Body of Christ. Both have been redeemed from the slavery of sin, and despite our faithlessness, God remains faithful to us. Just as the Psalmist declares, His loving-kindness towards us is new every morning. Let us praise and give thanks to the Lord for His great faithfulness towards His children, both Jew and Gentile. Great is His faithfulness towards Israel and the Church.
Proverbs 11:14
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Psalms 48:14
For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
