Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High. So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Psalm 107:10‭-‬15 NIV

They were prisoners in two ways:

- lock by the iron bars that keep them in until they died

- in darkness, this made them very, very sad (or, in despair)

In other words, they were

- prisoners of their enemies

- prisoners because of their own thoughts.

They became prisoners because of there rebellion to God.

Disobedience Leads You To Destruction!!

(..He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains...)

Gave Thanks To Our Almighty God!!!

Unfailing Love - The Faithfulness Of Him

Wonderful Deeds - The Goodness Of Him

- John 3:16

They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

Psalm 107:5‭-‬9 NIV

Hungry And Thirst.

In the trouble of the wilderness, they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and God answered..

He is our Redeemer

He is our Deliverer

He is our Sustainer

He is our Savior

Never lose hope he always satify our need

(...They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress....)

God's Way Is What We Need!!

He will us led us to our right path

Better than modern navigation systems, God led His people to just the right place, to a city for a dwelling place.

We Are His People And He Is Our God

His deliverance is full of surprises, as he supplies all the needs of his people. He straightens the way; leads them into the city; and provides for their shelter, food, and drink

(...He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle...)

God’s goodness to those returning through the wilderness should give everyone reason to thank Him, for His wonderful works to the children of men.

Show Your Gratitude!!

We should thank God for more than His work in our personal life, but also for what He does for others.

(....Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,...)

The psalm spoke of those hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, but there is also a longing in the soul of man.

God’s literal guidance and deliverance for His people in the wilderness becomes a picture of how He delivers the lost, thirst, and hungry soul with goodness.

(...for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things...)

We Hungry For His Word

We Desperate For His Presence

We Longing For His Love

For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “ Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:13‭-‬15 NIV

(..“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ..)

Matthew 26:41 NIV

Flesh - Weak

Spirit - Strong Will

Our flesh is weak enough for us to fall into the will of sin.

> Sin - Death

(..For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;..)

*Reliance On The Holy Spirit

> Spirit - Life

Once You Live According To The Holy Spirit. He Will Guarantee Victory Over Yourself.

(..but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live...)

When We Are Lead By The Holy Spirit We Became Part Of The Children Of God

Adoption to Sonship ????

There was no process for adoption in the ancient Jewish culture.

In the the verse.

It refers to the Roman concept of adoption.

If a child was adopted. In Rome, adopting a child meant:

- That child was freely chosen by the parents, desired by the parents.

- That child would be a permanent part of the family; parents couldn’t disown a child they adopted.

- An adopted child received a new identity. Any prior commitments, responsibilities and debts were erased. New rights and responsibilities were taken on.

- Being adopted made someone an heir to their father, joint-sharers in all his possessions and fully united to him.

We Became His Son And Heir.
