Come Hear What God Has Done For My Soul

Psalm 66 is a thanksgiving song for God’s many works on behalf of His people as a whole, as well as an invitation from one individual within the faith community to come and hear what God has done for him personally! The unknown author cried out to God in prayer from an undisclosed distress, and God gave full attention to his prayer. As a result, this worshiper wants to give witness to God’s continuing and intimate care. We learn from the entirety of this psalm the biblical habit of seeing the hand of God in all life-events, which makes suffering and hardship as meaningful as His deliverance. Moreover, because the wording of this psalm is general in nature, we can readily apply it to our struggles today. We too can cry out to God and know that He is pleased to hear and deliver us.
