"O give
thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth
for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath
redeemed from the hand of the enemy;"(Psalms 107:1-2)
The way this is worded it is
pretty clear that David is speaking to those that have
experienced being redeemed. In this case they were redeemed
from their enemies. They had been delivered from them and
set free. Then tells them that the Lord is good, for his
mercy endureth forever. "Now let the redeemed of the Lord
say so." What about the good news of our redemption, about
us being delivered from the lake of fire forever and
forever, from being delivered from what we deserve to be
delivered to a place that we do not deserve. As we
experience our redemption from time to time, "Let the
redeemed of the Lord say so."

Building Blocks
 |
|
Sound principles are
the building blocks of sound thinking and speaking.
When our thoughts and words are organized and
expressed from a foundation of sound principle, they
are hard to be misunderstood or shaken by opinion.
The first principle of the faith, of the Primitive
Baptist Churches; is rooted and established as the
first principle of truth, which insures an unmovable
foundation, both sure and steadfast for the rest:
“We believe in the One true and living God: the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and these Three are One
God.”
That is a principle to build on, which cannot be
moved! |

"But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he
hath pleased." (Psalms 115:3)
As we read through the
scriptures, we find this thought over and over again that
brings forth the sovereignty of God. So much of the time we
hear people say if God did or does that he would be unfair.
Yet we still have these words; "He hath done whatsoever
he hath pleased." The sovereignty of God carries the
thought that not only does he have the power to do what
pleases him, but also has the right, because he is God. If
we question God the same could be said to us when he spoke
to Job; "Where was thou when I created the heavens, flung
the stars in the sky, made man out of the dust of the earth,
and breathed into him the breath of life?" We have done
nothing to deserve his grace, done nothing to obligate God
to save us, nor anything that would make God want to save
us. "But our God is in the heavens: he hath done
whatsoever he hath pleased."
