Are You Saying So?

Psalms 107:2-9 ESV
(2) Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
(3) and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
(4) Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;
(5) hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
(6) Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
(7) He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.
(8) Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of men!
(9) For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

I'm not sure that I'm remembering this as often as I should. While walking and praying this morning I felt like I have spiritual gangrene in my heart. There is so much pride, bitterness, and envy in there that it takes spiritual surgery to clean it out. I do know that one cure is to reflect on the barrenness of my life apart from Christ and the fullness of my life with Him.

Let's see how this goes in 15 minutes when the kids get up...
