Still in Psalm 107. Look at verses 11 and 20. In 11 we see that people are:
They were in this mess because they had rebelled against both the Words of God and the counsel of the Most High, all in all not the best move.
If you have been following the last few posts you know that each of the first four sections of the Psalm end with those in the situations that are described calling out to God who then delivers them.
Verse 20 is in the next section. These folks are rebellious fools, perhaps the same ones who had rebelled against the Words of God. When they cry out, looks at the means by which God saves them. His Word.
It is instructive that we get into deep trouble when we rebel against God’s Word and yet it is God’s Word that gets us out of that mess we have chosen.
One more observation tomorrow and we will wrap this up I think.
