PSALM 106
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 So he saved them from the hand of the foe
and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12 Then they believed his words;
they sang his praise.
13 But they soon forgot his works;
they did not wait for his counsel.
14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and put God to the test in the desert;
15 he gave them what they asked,
but sent a wasting disease among them. – Psalm 106:9-15

PSALM 106 SAVED FROM THE POWER OF THE ENEMY
A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
God is faithful to deliver his people from the adversary
The Lord protects his people and saves them from the tactics of the enemy
No matter how much suffering you go through, continue to trust God
Do not allow open doors that gives Satan a foothold on you
Just as the Lord delivered his people from the Egyptians
He will do the same for you no matter the situation.
To all the faithful, authority is in your hands
Use such power to command the evil one
Do not be afraid of what the devil can do to you
The Lord is sovereign; you will surely be rescued
Never forget God’s deeds, do not put him to the test
Serve the Lord your God and be faithful and you will have rest.

REFLECTION
• In verses 13-14, we are reminded how the people easily forgot God’s wondrous deeds for them and didn’t wait for God’s counsel and put him to the test. How may we easily follow this pattern in our lives and how can we prevent it?
