As we do every year, we close out 2025 remembering God's goodness to us through the lens of Psalm 107. We are reminded that if God’s steadfast love endures forever, then the redeemed of the Lord ought to say so. The Psalmist describes four types of people God redeems: the wanderers who are lost and aimless, the prisoners sitting in darkness due to rebellion, the fools suffering affliction because of their sin, and the storm-tossed who face life's overwhelming waves.
In every scenario, the solution is the same: "Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress." We see that God uses all things—even meaningful affliction—to draw us back to Him. We can trust God's hand even when it hurts, knowing He works in faithfulness.
