Tuesday's Text--Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22


The Psalm for the Fourth Sunday in Lent is Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22.



O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 
     for his steadfast love endures forever. 
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, 
     those he redeemed from trouble 
3 and gathered in from the lands, 
     from the east and from the west, 
     from the north and from the south.

17 Some were sick through their sinful ways, 
     and because of their iniquities endured affliction; 
18 they loathed any kind of food, 
     and they drew near to the gates of death. 
19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, 
     and he saved them from their distress; 
20 he sent out his word and healed them, 
     and delivered them from destruction. 
21 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, 
     for his wonderful works to humankind. 
22 And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices, 
     and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.




-What images come to your mind when you hear "he...gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south"?
-How have you experienced God's healing in your life?
-For what do you give thanks today?
