Passage: Psalm 107:33-43* 33. He changes rivers into a wilderness, and springs of water into a thirsty ground; 34. A fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35. He changes a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water; 36. And there He makes the hungry to dwell, so that they may establish an inhabited city, 37. And sow fields, and plant vineyards, and gather a fruitful harvest. 38. Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly; and He does not let their cattle decrease. 39. When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, misery, and sorrow, 40. He pours contempt upon princes, and makes them wander in a pathless waste. 41. But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, and makes his families like a flock. 42. The upright see it, and are glad; but all unrighteousness shuts its mouth. 43. Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things; and consider the lovingkindness of the LORD. Questions 1.

You can take many paths on your journey through life but one thing remains constant whether you choose to acknowledge it or not  -- God is sovereign over all there is. There's no calamity that He doesn't know about. There's no distress that He doesn't see. There's no great blessing that He didn't bestow. And -- there's no besetting porn habit that He can't get you past. As the last verse of this passage says -- Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things; and consider the lovingkindness of the LORD. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2000, 2004 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
