Psalm 107 ends by inviting us to consider all that God has done. The wise person sees patterns of grace in both discipline and deliverance. When we pause to reflect, we recognize that every season—hard or joyful—has been guided by steadfast love. Wisdom grows when we respond to God’s work with obedience, humility, and trust. Don’t rush past what God is teaching. Consider His love, and let it shape how you live moving forward." lang: en --- 721 N.

Reading: **Psalm 107:43** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Wisdom isn’t just knowledge—it’s discernment shaped by reflection.

Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Ask God for wisdom to discern His purposes and the courage to obey what He reveals.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Journal one lesson God has taught you through this season. 2. Choose one act of obedience that reflects what you’ve learned.
