The LORD of Good Friday

Last night's sunset
Sanibel Island




Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Has the LORD redeemed you?
Then speak out!
Tell others He has redeemed
you from your enemies...

Some were fools;
they rebelled and suffered for their sins...
"LORD, help!" they cried in their trouble,
and He saved them from their distress.
He sent His Word and healed them,
snatching them from the door of death.
Let them praise the LORD
for His great love
and for the wonderful things
He has done for them...

Some went off to sea in ships,
plying the trade routes of the world.
They, too, observed the LORD's power in action,
His impressive works on the deep seas.
He spoke, and the winds rose,
stirring the waves...
"LORD, help!" they cried in their trouble,
and He saved them from their distress.
He calmed the storm to a whisper
and stilled the waves.
What a blessing was the stillness
as He brought them safely to harbor!
Let them praise the LORD for His great love
and for the wonderful things
He has done for them...

He rescues the poor from trouble
and increases their families
like flocks of sheep.
The godly will see these things and be glad
while the wicked are struck silent.
Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history
the faithful love of the LORD.
(Psalm 107 NLT)

Beloved, has Jesus redeemed you? Then speak out and tell others about the LORD of Good Friday! Praise Him for His great love and for the wonderful things He has done for you.
