Today’s Scripture:

Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22

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 were sick through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities endured affliction;

they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress;

he sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.

And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices, and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.

Food For Thought:

The line that stands out to me in this passage is probably one of my favorite lines in all of Scripture. It says, “O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.” Think of how you have given thanks to God. How have you seen God’s goodness at work in the world? How does it make you feel to think that God’s steadfast love endures forever?

Prayer:

Shepherd of all,

by laying down your life for your flock

you reveal your love for all.

Lead us from the place of death

to the place of abundant life,

that guided by your care for us,

we may rightly offer our lives

in love for you and our neighbors. Amen.
