Longing For That Water Part 2

Longing For That Water

Part 2

Psalm 107:1-9

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

I have entitled this today: Longing For That Water - Part Two.

Last week, we talked about how David was longing for the water that he used to drink, water that came from the well that was at Bethlehem.

He was yearning for what he used to have; and how it seemed like a dream and an impossible thing to have.

Have you ever longed for what you used to have in your walk with the Lord?

I believe that what we need, in our walks, is a longing for all of God that we can have in our walks.

Are you longing for what you used to have in your walk today?

Have you ever found yourself longing for that water you used to drink?

Don’t you think that it is about time you got in the river of God one more time, and let the Spirit of God have control of your situation?

Psalm 107:1-2

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

We have to learn to give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

What God did in the past He will also do today.

We have been talking a lot about whose we are. As a believer in Christ, I have been bought with a price, I am not my own, but I am the property of Jesus Christ.

Verse two says: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so”, say so.

Are you redeemed this morning? If you are, then act like it and say so.

He has redeemed us from the hand of the enemy,

Just like David last week, we talked about how the People of God, at this time, had labored intensely to plant and cultivate crops.

And when they were ready to be harvested, the Philistines would swoop down and take what rightly belonged to Israel.

This is what Satan tries to do to the believer; he attempts to rob you of your inheritance and will do so if you do not know how to properly follow the Lord.

God wants us to, as believers, follow what the Bible says to do.

Satan will come as a thief and try to take what God has given you. It is time to stand against the wiles of the evil one and say I don’t think so.

What God has given me, is mine, and I will not let it go in the Name of Jesus. “Satan, get thee behind me”.

Psalm 107:4-6

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

The people of Israel, after they were set free from Egypt, wandered in the desert, they had no city to dwell in.

When they were hungry and thirsty, the Lord supplied what they needed.

He gave them manna from Heaven and He supplied the water they had need of.

Verse 6 says “they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses”.

Has any one in here ever felt like this is the day of my trouble?

Some might say I have cried unto the Lord and I am still here in the same situation.

A lot of people cry out to God in their day of trouble, but they really don’t mean what they are saying.

When we are a Christian, then we are a believer, and when we are a believer we do what Jesus tells us to do.
