Isn't that what the redeemed should say?
From Psalm 107: 1-9; 43: 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 the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress; he led them by a straight way, until they reached an inhabited town. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind. For he satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things. Let those who are wise give heed to these things, and consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
There was a praise song the youth used to sing in the Río Grande Conference which included a refrain with the words, "let the redeemed of the Lord say so," and some wise acres, myself included, would yell, "SO!" (Thus the title of this devotional). And who wouldn't want to yell so to giving thanks to the Lord's goodness? And for His unending steadfast love? This is a psalm of praise for all that God does. God has redeemed those who were in trouble and gathered them in from the four corners of the world. From wandering lost in desolate places, to seemingly never arriving in inhabited places; hungry and thirsty, and with fainting souls, when they cried out to the Lord, He delivered them. In God there can be no more thirsty, nor hungry; for God satisfies all.
So, will you join me in saying, so?
So!
PRAYER: Thank You, Loving God, for all You do! Amen!
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
