Reflection
In Psalm 107, the psalmist repeats the phrase, “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,” four times. Yesterday we saw the psalmists emphasis the understanding that God is good. Do you think the way we can define how God is good is based on God’s unfailing love and God’s marvelous deeds? How have you seen God’s unfailing love and marvelous deeds in your life?
