Psalm 107:1-9
What has God done for us? We are told to speak out! How is the world to know about Him if we do not share our faith? The psalmist says to tell others about the wonderful things He has done for us. God satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
As King David said in Psalm 37:25:
“Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.”
Psalms 37:25 NLT

Have we made the Lord our refuge? Is He the one we run to when we are in trouble? Have we put Him first in our thoughts? Then we have nothing to worry about, and, we have a story to tell.
As Psalm 34:19 states:
“The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.”
Psalms 34:19 NLT

I was a bit naive when I came to the Lord in my college years. For some reason I thought my troubles were over. Yet I quickly learned they were just getting started as I had switched camps - from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light - and I now had a target on my back. It took me a little bit to figure out what was going on; but as my understanding of the Scriptures grew, I began to see that there was a spiritual battle raging all around. I had to apply what I had learned to walk in the victory God had ALREADY won for me in Christ. We walk in that victory by faith and trust in the One who has delivered us. We operate from a position of victory because the battle has already been won at the cross and we speak to our circumstances commanding them to line up with that reality. Faith calls those things that be not as though they were.
Consider Romans 4:16-17 AMPC:
“Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants–not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all. As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed. [Gen. 17:5.]”

Spend some time and chew on the implications of those two verses. The Apostle Paul is giving us a great key to this walk of faith. As we understand this more and more, victories will abound in our lives and we will have plenty of stories to tell for the glory of God!
