Read Psalms 107:8, 15, 21, 31  Did you think that you had made a mistake?  Did your mother or father seem to be repeating themselves when they read these verses?  Well, that is because these four verses are exactly the same!  So why do you think God used up the space of four verses to repeat this one verse four times?  If God says something once, do you think it is important?  But what if God says the same thing four times?  Isn't that really important?  I think so.  So, what does God say in these verses?  God says that we should praise, or thank Him for two things: for His goodness and for the wonderful things that He does for us.  Do we thank God for all of the things that He does for us, or do we thank God for loving us and just being a good God to us?  Which is more important: the toys that our parents buy for us or our parents?  That's right, our parents.  If we didn't have parents, would we have the gifts that parents buy?  Well, no, of course we wouldn't.  If we wouldn't have God, we wouldn't have the gifts that God gives to us.  God is way more important than the gifts that He gives to us.  Let's stop and pray right now and thank God for just being our God.
