He Delivered Them From Their Distress
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is
good; for his steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say
so, those he redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the
east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted
within them. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered
them from their distress; he led them by a straight way, until they reached an
inhabited town. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his
wonderful works to humankind. For he satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.
Every testimony for Christ begins with
a rescue followed by a thankful response.
Whether our experience of salvation
sounds dramatic or not, the reality remains that we have been delivered from
darkness to light. Because we have been redeemed, we should want to tell
others. The best way to thank Christ for saving us is to tell others about Him.
