Psalm 107 ~ The upright see it and are glad


Where The River Flows - Collective Soul


Psalm 107

1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble [from the hand of the foe]
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to a city to dwell in;
5 hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
prisoners in affliction and in irons,
11 for they had rebelled against the words of God,
and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;
they fell down, with none to help.
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and burst their bonds apart.
15 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
and cuts in two the bars of iron.

17 Some were fools through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;
18 they loathed any kind of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent out his word and healed them,
and delivered them from their destruction.
21 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the LORD,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their evil plight;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men
and were at their wits' end.
28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the evil of its inhabitants.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.
36 And there he lets the hungry dwell,
and they establish a city to live in;
37 they sow fields and plant vineyards
and get a fruitful yield.
38 By his blessing they multiply greatly,
and he does not let their livestock diminish.

39 When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40 he pours contempt on princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
41 but he raises up the needy out of affliction
and makes their families like flocks.
42 The upright see it and are glad,
and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

43 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;
let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.


Past events + life experiences + current day-to-day events = the snap shot of where we exist today.

So what's new? Spotify. Arranging the music we listen and like the most into our own collection. Thinking about being in the world and not of the world.

And. Edward & I started a new 6 Friday nights Bible/Book Study taught by our Pastor Clark Lowenfield on the book "The Meaning of Marriage" written by Timothey Keller with Kathy Keller. Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God.

John 17:11 In the world, but not of the world
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one.

The Lord created the world and when we look we see Him in our every day life. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.

God's world is orderly. Jesus is Prince of Peace.
God designed the world to turn and created ecological systems to renew, nourish and replenish us. Marriage is one of the systems God gave us. God says to seek Him first and His Kingdom.

And God has always told us - there is a profound bond between marriage and the Body of Christ. - His Church and His Bride.

My great-uncle was the Reverend Tate Young. In the early 1970s, Tate told us the Church would begin to see tremendous problems. He wasn't talking about the homosexual agenda. He was talking about the beginning of trouble. He was seeing the Bible being discarded with man's wisdom. Tate said that when the denominations begin to discard the vows, - of say for example -, a marriage that took place in the Methodist Church and now the Episcopal Church doesn't recognize the relevance of the Methodist Church vows because a divorce took place and the Episcopal Church offers a re-marriage without due prayer and contemplation - then the Church would have it's bedrock shaken.

We live in a country where just few years ago, almost 90% of all newborns were born in wedlock. Today 60% are. Without the bedrock commitment - how is the pendulum going to swing in ways the world sees up building, trust and hope? The Church, as the Body of Christ, should provide for marriage and nourishment. Our foundation should be Jesus. The river should flow to the Lord.

We bought our book on Amazon and the 2 day shipping was free. Our Pastor says this book is very worthwhile. Join us if you feel led by the Holy Spirit.


Mark 1:17
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."


Ezekiel 47:9
Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.


Revelation 22:1
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
