Silence the bad tongues !

Psalm 107.42 - May the upright be glad to see all this, and all evil tongues be silenced ! (BFC).

Psalm 107 describes several situations of human distress. Some were lost in a dreadful desert and lost all courage, others were locked in a dark dungeon, still others were in terrible anguish and already had one foot in the grave, others finally found themselves in a terrible storm and despite their know-how they were "lost".

All of these people suffered the consequences of their disobedience. But when they turned to the Lord to cry out to Him, they were all delivered. Some were watered and fed and they found shelter, others, the Lord took them from their dark dungeon by smashing the iron doors and bronze bolts, others again, He healed them and snatched them from death, the others finally, He calmed the storm and brought them to port.

My reflection, in relation to our verse, is this : we must know how to be silent about the situations that others live because God is able to silence bad tongues ! How do I react when God steps in to save someone who is in turmoil because of their disobedience ? Am I able to rejoice ? Or does it create frustration in me ?

I would also like you to be encouraged, you who are going through the difficulties described in this Psalm. There is only one solution : to cry out to God to intervene in your situation, and He will do it even if you have done it yourself. And as this Psalm also says, may we all praise God for who He is !

Good reflection.
