HALLELUJAH TIME or HOSANNA TIME?

There are special moments in life to express deep emotions in the face of our ups and downs: The times of HALLELUJAH (“praise the Lord” or “God be praised”) celebrate incredible breakthroughs and deliverances, and the times of HOSANNA (“I beg you to save!” or “Please deliver us!”) plead earnestly for help in serious crises. Psalm 107:4-32 reminds us that life is not only full of painful disruptive moments, but is also punctuated with amazing moments of divine interventions. What time is it for you today? Hosanna time? Earnestly cry out to the Lord (vv. 6, 13, 19, 28). Hallelujah time? Celebrate by telling your story (vv. 8, 15, 21, 31). God’s grace runs through both our Hallelujah and Hosanna times (v.43).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
