Thanksgiving Month Introduction...

Psalm 107:1-9
（Memorization Scripture 6-9）
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And He led them forth by the right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

【Reflection】The psalmist calls upon every person who has received the grace to come and thank the Lord. By counting God's blessings, we are reminded that our God is good, and His love endures forever! God has redeemed us from the hands of our enemies, leading us on a straight path and preventing us from drifting in the wilderness. He has promised out of love that those who seek Him with a thirsty heart will be satisfied. Indeed, we were all like lost sheep, but He found us and brought us back from the desolate wilderness, surrounded us with His love, cared for us and protected us, just as He protects the apple of His eye. He poured out His own life to become the bread of life for us, as Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35). And not only that, He also brings us into His abundance, "He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things."
