John Gill Bible Commentary
Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,.... Seafaring men particularly, before mentioned, as Jonah's mariners did, Jon 1:16, or all the four sorts of persons instanced in, as Kimchi thinks: and even all men whatsoever should do this, high and low, rich and poor, of every age, sex, and condition; since they all receive favours from the Lord, and should return thanks to him; and especially good men, who are blessed with spiritual blessings by him: these should all confess to the Lord his goodness; as it may be rendered; see Gill on Psa 107:15, they should own the mercy received as the Lord's doing, and acknowledge their unworthiness of it, and give him the glory of it. And for his wonderful works to the children of men! or, "confess and declare his wonderful works to the children of men": the wonderful works of creation and providence, which those that go to sea, see in the deeps, and everything of the same kind which others observe; and especially the wonderful works of grace, or what God has done in a wonderful manner for the souls of his people; see Psa 66:16.
Psalms 107:28
Thanksgiving for Deliverance
27They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless. 28Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress. 29He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

By Favell Lee Mortimer0PSA 107:28MAT 8:23MRK 4:1ROM 5:3HEB 13:5Favell Lee Mortimer preaches about Jesus teaching the parable of the sower and other lessons while on a ship on the lake of Gennesaret. Despite knowing a storm was coming, Jesus used it to teach his disciples an important lesson on faith and trust in Him. Just as God intended to alarm Jonah with a storm, difficulties and troubles should not deter us if we are following God's will.

Revival tornadoes are sent by God to bring about soul-saving transformations, just as Ezekiel prayed for a mighty revival. The preacher emphasizes the importance of meeting the conditions set by God for revival, including prayer, fasting, confession, and turning from sin. Through powerful descriptions and analogies, Martin Knapp highlights how revivals, like tornadoes, purify, test the righteous, alarm the wicked, and compel attention to God's power.

The disciples' lack of faith in the midst of the storm serves as a reminder for believers to trust in Jesus, who has power over all creation, including winds and waves. The storm symbolizes the trials and tribulations faced by the Church, both collectively and individually, highlighting the importance of seeking refuge in Christ during life's tempests.

Wilkerson illustrates that God's lovingkindness is revealed through His past dealings with His people, showing that when they called upon Him in their distress, He responded with healing and deliverance. The sermon encourages believers to recognize and understand the depth of God's love and care for them, reminding them that they are never beyond His reach. Ultimately, it reassures that God is a tender Father who is intimately aware of our struggles and needs.
