Psalm 107:8-9 “Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.”
Here we see that God satisfies and fills. God will satisfy those that will cry out to him in their distresses for help and mercy. We serve a merciful and good God.
In the verses prior to this passage the story is told of the people of God wandering in the wilderness after being delivered from their enemies. They were in this place because they had sinned against God so they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years searching for a place to live. When they come to the end of themselves in verse 5 they are hungry and thirsty and they faint.
When this point comes in their life they cry out to God for help in their time of need. The most awesome thing here is that God hears them when they cry out and delivers them from their distresses .
God deserves to be praised for His mighty works. That He is merciful to those that cry out to Him. Oh that we would praise the Lord for His deliverance.
But more than that in verse 9 we see that God doesn’t just leave them where they were. He doesn’t just deliver them. God satisfies their longing soul. God fills the hungry soul with goodness. Oh how good of a God we serve.
When we are wandering and come to the end of our rope and are longing for him and deliverance. He reaches down and saves us and then he doesn’t just save us from the distresses he also fills us with goodness and satisfies our longing soul.
We serve a good and merciful God! Let us praise and thank Him for who He is!!!
