Study
85 From the Book of Psalms is: Psalms 107:1-32
This
psalm has a general introduction (verses 1-3), then four examples showing God’s
steadfast love (verses 4:32), and a conclusion summarizing what is learnt about
God from these experiences (verses 33-43).
1 1- What are the
situations of difficulty from which God rescued His people? Study (a) the
reasons for these difficulties, (b) the feelings of the people in them, and (c)
the way in which they obtained relief.
2- What
reactions are called for from those who have been delivered in these ways?
3 3- How do some
of the acts of Jesus show the same pattern as God’s acts here? Cf., e.g.,
verses 23-32 with Mk. 4:35-41; Mt. 14:22-33. What does this show us about
Jesus?
