Word: Psalm 107:4-9
[4] They wandered in the desert road in the wilderness, and found no city to dwell in.
[5] And with hunger and thirst the soul was weary within.
[6] Then they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and he delivered them from their afflictions.
[7] And he has led them in the right way, and brought them to the city where they will dwell.
[8] Blessed be the LORD for his kindness and for his marvelous works he has done to mankind.
[9] For he satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good things.

Gratitude is worship. Worship is a human duty and worship to one man. Worship is not an option that can be offered or not. I believe that worship is absolutely necessary. Since thanksgiving is worship, we believe that we must also give thanks. In Thessalonians, we are told to always give thanks. There are principles that we must abide by when we give thanks to God. It's by heart! Into the mouth! with material! that you have to give. As we look at the poet's gratitude revealed in Psalm 107, we earnestly pray that this time will be blessed with grace.
▶First, thank you for being rescued from pain.
Verse 6 says, 'Then they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and he delivered them from their affliction'. Also, in verse 13, it says, 'Then they cried out to the LORD in their distress, and he saved them from their affliction'. If you look at verses 19 and 28 of the text, you can see that He led them out of that suffering. To cry out to God means to believe that God is a personal being who hears and answers prayers. I hope you believe that God is an action God who lives, works, hears, sees, guides, responds, and saves. The poet is now grateful for that fact. In other words, trusting and relying on the living God! Becoming a child of God! Thank you for saving us and guiding us.
▶ Second, thank you for making me satisfied.
Verse 9 says, 'He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good things'. In these words, we can see God who makes us satisfied. We believe that we should find the conditions for our gratitude in this confession that we are grateful for being satisfied and being filled with good things. I bless you for the satisfactory grace, the abundant grace. As Christians, if we leave the church and leave the Lord, we will wither and die. But we believe that together we will never die. There is no reason for us to turn away from the Lord. Thank you and congratulations.
▶Thank you for fixing me the third time.
In verse 20 of the text, it says, 'He sent his word, and healed them, and rescued them from the sacrilege.' We believe that God heals and heals us who are broken, broken, and useless, and restores us to an irreplaceable being. Everyone, we became new people because of Jesus. A life without gratitude is bleak. However, being grateful makes you happy and moved, and gives your life a luster. We believe that God's world is a world of thanksgiving.
