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.

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
