Psa 107:7a “And he led them forth, by the right way…”

The Psalmist records four types of people: Wanderer (vs 4-9); Prisoner (vss 10-16); Distressed (vss 17-20, and Storm-tossed (vss 23-30). Despite how extreme the calamity, God still has a path set forth that leads to His goodness (vs 9 “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.) This promise goes beyond just the physical need, and delivers the soul out of spiritual distress (vs 6). We know Jesus is the way (Jn 14:6); bread of life (Jn 6:35); living water (Jn 4:10-14), and the giver of rest (Mt 11:28-30). The path which leads to the Lord’s goodness is the same one you set-forth on in your salvation. The path hasn’t changed, if you’re wandering, in bondage, distressed or stuck in a storm, it’s because you changed or redirected your path in another direction. Your hope is promised in vs 1 “Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.” He’s already redeemed you from the enemy (vs 2), and is directing you towards an eternal inn, habitation. Just as the Lord led the Israelites (Deu 32:10) for forty years, so will he direct your path in the right way. But we must direct our soul in that path which longs and thirst for His goodness (9). This is applicable to our condition in this world, we are here as in a wilderness, a journey knowing this isn’t our eternal habitation. But, if we hold to his path, the right way, we are under his guidance, provision, mercy and His goodness we can dwell in… “let the redeemed of the Lord say so” the Lord is GOOD!

Over every mountain God has a path, you just may not be able to see it from the valley!
