O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. - Psalm 107 How many times in any given day are we assaulted by bad news? Seems like we can barely recover from one depressing declaration before we are confronted by another. If its not a car repair, its a house repair. If its not a headache, its a heartache. If its not a problem finding a job, its a problem keeping a job. If its not a mortgage meltdown, its another financial bail-out. But in the midst of cascading deficits, constant debacles and continuous depressions, the Psalmist declares that there is Good News, though he has to go though a lot , but psalmist know who his God, his Lord is was knowing how great are the works to deliver them, him. He was just knowing but experiencing the work of The Lord to deliver him.Not only that but psalmist praised The Lord for deliverance by thanksgiving. Every believer in God ought to be talking about. And this Good News is not illusory; it does not deny the fact that we live in perilous times, and it does not attempt to shift our focus to an otherworldly utopia. It is the Good News that despite all of the troubles, trials and traumas we face, love endures. The Love of God is steadfast, and it endures forever! Aint that Good News? It is the Good News that all of our suffering is redemptive – which is to say that God uses our pains to produce greater stamina, greater integrity and greater maturity in us. In Gods processes of redemption, bad is exchanged for good. Aint that Good News? It is the Good News that despite all that has transpired to tear us apart, God has gathered us together – from the lands, east and west, north and south. And it is our togetherness that gives us strength to face the challenges ahead. Aint that Good News? Somebody ought to say so! We should pray to Gracious God, please do not allow our recitations of bad news interrupt our declarations of the Good News! Give us hearts to believe, eyes to see and courage to speak your good news, not only that but flow the good news through us . In Jesus name Amen!! Blessing to you all lets all the redeemed of the Lord praise Him saying He is good to me an His mercy never come to an end , it endures forever .
