Psalms 107:31 (KJV) In Times of Trial

Psalms 107:31 (KJV)
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

I confess that this is not the theme of every Psalm. 

• There are imprecatory Psalms
• There are Psalms where the penman pours out his grief

It would not be practical, necessary, or even biblical to make Psalm 107 to be our only type of reaction to life. But it certainly contains a handy tool to have in our bag. 

Three times this Psalm repeats the words of verse 31.[1] In fact, the Psalm, a rather long one, is a rehearsal of God’s goodness and wonderful works. 

In times of trial, a wise Christian will set aside some time regularly to rehearse the goodnesses and wonderful works of God and to praise Him for them. Even if each time is a near repeat of the time before, this rehearsal:

• Lifts the spirit, 
• Puts our mind on things above and 
• Improves our testimony among men
