Ps. 116: Source of Good

Psalm 116:16 "O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant; you have freed me from my chains."

I read a Psalm like the 116th, and I can't help but take heart, no matter what kind of stuff may be burdening me at the time. I read here that it is God who delivers. God and God only. God hears the cries of those who call out to him. He has ears that hear.

You have freed me from my chains.

Man.

What is chaining you, what is burdening you? How long will I struggle against these chains without calling on God because I think I can free myself?

And when I am freed, what is my thank offering?

I just have to ponder that, I guess.
