living Psalm 105

Take just a moment and read Psalm 105. If you don't have a Bible near you, go to Biblegateway.com and use theirs. I'll wait.


Genuine worship and adoration toward God comes from the awareness of His historical faithfulness. One doesn't need to sit around and think of reasons to worship God if the Scriptures are studied. Sometimes we experience seasons of our lives that produce difficult obstacles that prevent our adoration of God. Friend, if that season consumes you today, open up to Psalm 105 and allow the words to refresh you to the perfect providence of our Maker. In this rich Psalm, the writer gives us a shout of praise toward the God that led the Israelites in their history. Trust me; their history was far from perfect. Difficult seasons consumed them as they do us. However, in moments like Psalm 105, we see a beautiful choir of remembrance assembled for the Holy God. They praise Him for His deliverance from captivity and for His daily provision.

Sin blinds adoration. We could easily be consumed with sin to the point that His rich history doesn't capture our attention anymore. This tendency leads many church goers to live as lukewarm followers. Jesus warned us about this complacency. It doesn't matter what season you are in, fall on your knees today, read Psalm 105 and remember that the days are His. He was faithful in the past...and He will be faithful in the future. One day, as Revelation 7:17 teaches us, every tear will be wiped away. One day, we will get to immerse ourselves in an eternal bond of joy such as the Psalm 105 folks had. Why not trust that He will remove the obstacles of our praise today so we can enjoy Psalm 105? Why not remember His faithfulness in the past. He gave you life today. Start there. He was faithful to give you the ability to read the words I'm typing. Start there. Praise Him for His faithfulness. Follow Him in faithfulness. Treasure His Son. Enjoy His Spirit.
