Thank God.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 28Nov25

Thank God!!!

Scripture Reference- Psalms 107.

Psalm 107 is a powerful song of testimonies, vividly portraying God’s sovereignty over both creation and nations (vv. 33–42). David celebrates the Lord’s mighty works, describing how He transforms rivers into deserts (if we start doing wrong) and barren wastelands into fertile (if we trust HIM with Wholehearted), life-giving land: He brings down the proud in humility and raises up the needy in compassion. The psalm ties the act of thanksgiving to the profound recognition of God’s control over history and the natural world, showing that gratitude flows from acknowledging His hand in all things. It concludes with a stirring call for the wise to reflect deeply on the steadfast love of the Lord (v. 43), revealing that thanksgiving is not only an act of worship but also a defining mark of true wisdom.

V21 says, we should Praise the Lord for HIS Love and for the Wonderful things He does for all of us! This is very True. We did receive help from the serious troubles, He heard our prayers in need, He made storm stop and see be quiet. He brought us to the port where we wanted to go.

Information Packed into Psalm 107-
  • God’s character: His goodness, steadfast love, and power to save.
  • Human condition: Lostness, bondage, sickness, danger, and helplessness.
  • Divine intervention: God hears cries, delivers, heals, and guides.
  • Communal response: Thanksgiving, testimony, and worship.
  • Cosmic perspective: God rules over creation, nations, and history.
  • Wisdom lesson: True understanding comes from reflecting on God’s love
It is filled with vivid stories of deliverance.
  • Wanderers in the desert – lost, hungry, thirsty, then led to a city (4–9).
  • Prisoners in chains – bound in darkness, then set free (10–16).
  • The sick and afflicted – near death, then healed by God’s word (17–22).
  • Sailors in a storm– tossed by waves, then brought safely to harbour (23–32).
And let us (them) sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse HIS deeds with shouts and signing! Ps 107:22 AMP.
Gracious Father, we give You thanks for Your steadfast Love that endures forever. We give thanks in all circumstances, in whatever we do and is part of Prayer that brings God's peace, triumph through Jesus.  You have redeemed us from wandering, broken our chains, healed our sickness, and calmed our storms. In every season, Your Goodness has sustained us and Your mercy has carried us. Today we lift our voices in gratitude, declaring Your wondrous works and remembering Your faithfulness. May our hearts remain wise and attentive, always considering the greatness of Your Love, and may our lives overflow with thanksgiving to the Glory of Your Name. We’ll reflect/ rehearse on Your works as we get ready for the meeting, as if our whole lives depend on it. We’ll honour the LORD when we gather with our families and friends to worship.  In Jesus Name, We offer our thanks to You. Amen.

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
