- Read Genesis 50:15-21 ("God meant it for good")

At some point you may have experienced something that was difficult at the time but later, in retrospect, it proved to be good, yes even a blessing.

- Read Psalm 107 ("Give thanks to the Lord")

Let each verse enter you slowly and prayerfully pondering them in the light of this symbolic picture considering how these verses have shaped your life until now.

Comment:  It is important in meditating on this Psalm to be aware of the symbolic language and handle it carefully.  Allow light from this Psalm with its symbols of "desert wastes", "times of hunger" , "storms", etc.,  to shed light on your life.
