November 14 - Psalm 107.23-43

Sponsored by DailyBible Email

23Some of you made a living by sailing the mighty sea,
24and you saw the miracles the LORD performed there.
25At his command a storm arose, and waves covered the sea.
26You were tossed to the sky and to the ocean depths,
until things looked so bad that you lost your courage.
27You staggered like drunkards and gave up all hope.
28You were in serious trouble,
but you prayed to the LORD, and he rescued you.
29He made the storm stop and the sea be quiet.
30You were happy because of this,
and he brought you to the port
where you wanted to go.

31You should praise the LORD for his love
and for the wonderful things he does for all of us.
32Honor the LORD when you
and your leaders meet to worship.

33If you start doing wrong,
the LORD will turn rivers into deserts,
34flowing streams into scorched land,
and fruitful fields into beds of salt.

35But the LORD can also turn deserts into lakes
and scorched land into flowing streams.
36If you are hungry,
you can settle there and build a town.
37You can plant fields and vineyards
that produce a good harvest.
38The LORD will bless you with many children
and with herds of cattle.

39Sometimes you may be crushed by troubles and sorrows,
until only a few of you are left to survive.
40But the LORD will take revenge
on those who conquer you,
and he will make them wander across desert sands.
41When you are suffering and in need,
he will come to your rescue,
and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep.
42You will see this because you obey the LORD,
but everyone who is wicked will be silenced.

43Be wise! Remember this
and think about the kindness of the LORD.
