Welcome to the 107th day of the year! Day 107 is the second day of the sixteenth week. Day 107 is a core second-season day. It is the second day of the second week (or 9th day) in the third 49 days of the year. It is April 17 in a clear year; and April 16 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding Day 107 are the second day of creation narrative, Psalm 107, and the second chapter of the sixteenth book of the Bible.
Day 107 is a second day of creation day in the 16th week. On the second day of creation, God made the heaven (the firmament); breaking through, and dividing, the waters. God makes room and space where there is none in the second season. God is helper in the second season. His mercy and goodness overflows in second seasons. Men are pressured to look to God in second seasons. God is magnified in second seasons because He is the Great Helper.
Day 107 is a Psalm 107 day. This psalm opens with a call to thank God for His goodness and mercies. Four other times in the psalm, attention is drawn to the necessity of giving thanks to God.
Psalm 107:1,8,15,21,31
[1] Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
[8] Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
[15] Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
[21] Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! [22] Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.
[31] Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! [32] Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders.
Each call to thank God is followed by reminders of His acts and mercies. Psalm 107 is full of references to the acts of God in favor of His people or those who call upon Him.
Psalm 107:6-7, 13-14, 19-20, 28-30, 33-43
[6] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. [7] And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
[13] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. [14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains in pieces.
[19] Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. [20] He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
[28] Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. [29] He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. [30] Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
[33] He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground; [34] A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
[35] He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings. [36] There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, [37] And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. [38] He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease.
[39] When they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow, [40] He pours contempt on princes, And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; [41] Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families like a flock. [42] The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth. [43] Whoever is wise will observe these things, And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Day 107 is a Nehemiah 3-4 day in the 16th week . The third and fourth chapters of the sixteenth book of the Bible are applicable to the second day of the sixteenth week of the year. That’s where the work began. In Nehemiah 3, the people began to rebuild the gates – eleven gates in all. The gates were rebuilt by different families:
The Sheep Gate
The Fish Gate
The Old Gate
The Broad Wall
The Valley Gate.
The Refuse Gate.
The Fountain Gate;
The Water Gate
The Horse Gate
The East Gate
The Miphkad Gate
In the fourth chapter, opposition mounted – even with threats of attack; but Nehemiah and the people continued the work; and prepared themselves against any attacks by their enemies. Day 107 is breakthrough day. It is for breaking monopolies.
Day 107 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 16th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. The second ten books of the Bible are books of exploits through dependence on the power and wisdom of God; and they indicate that Day 107 is a day to trust in God for help. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.
Day 107 is a Book of First Samue day in the third 49 days of the year. The ninth book of the Bible is applicable to the ninth day in the third 49 days. Israel went through major changes in the ninth book of the Bible. That is where Samuel was born. That is where monarchy began. That is where the Spirit began to come on the anointed. That is where David was anointed. This is where the ark of God was captured by Philistines. This is a day of change. It is a day of recoveries.
On this second-season day of interventions, we give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and mercies; and as well, trust Him to make a way where is no way. This is a day to remember the mercy and goodness of God. It is a day to take a clear stand against opposition. It is not a season of blending with the monopoly; but of standing out.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him! Happy 107th day!
