Fostering Thankfulness: In Chains
Psalm 107:10-16
Imprisoned by Our Mistakes (v. 10-12)
- The psalmist points to those who have been imprisoned
- Not wrongfully
- But, because of their own sinful activity
- This is not simply a reference to those who have committed crimes and are in jail
- It refers to all who suffer under the consequence of their mistakes
- Have you felt shackled by your mistakes?
- The past can haunt and define us if we let it
- At times this imprisonment can be from God
- As a means of both discipline and protection
- And sometimes we can get stuck in a prison of our own making
The Breaker of Chains (v. 13-14)
- The good news is that God wants to set us free from this imprisonment (Luke 4:18-19)
- And this freedom comes from knowing the truth (John 8:31a-32)
- All we need to do is call on Him for help
- And this freedom comes from knowing the truth
- This doesn’t always mean that the temporal consequences go away
- But rather, that God can redeem our past
- Using it for good
- But rather, that God can redeem our past
The Thankfulness of the Forgiven (v. 15-16)
- We are called to thank God because He can break every chain
- And redeem our pasts!
So What?
- Are we imprisoned by our mistakes?
- We can call on Jesus to set us free!
- And praise Him for redeeming our pasts!
