"“Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: For His mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” MH 255.1"
"O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;"
EGW directly quotes Psalm 107:1-2. The connection is undeniable.
"“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: For I shall yet praise Him, Who is the health of my countenance, And my God.” Psalm 107:1, 2 ; 105:2, 3 ; Psalm 107:9-15 ; 42:11 . MH 255.4"
"For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
Ellen White directly references Psalms 107:9-15 in this passage.
"“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 . This command is an assurance that even the things which appear to be against us will work for our good. God would not bid us be thankful for that which would do us harm. MH 255.5"
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
