Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 105-107.

Most of the Psalms praise God, or call on us to praise God.  Today’s psalms certainly do so.  Today, the reading begins with
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
    tell of all his wonderful acts.“
That is a theme which is continued through all three of the psalms in today’s reading.  The psalmist tells us to remember the wonders which God has done: the miracles He has performed and the judgements He has pronounced.  He goes on to tell us to give thanks to God for His goodness and remind us that God’s love endures, no matter what we do.  The psalmist describes how the Israelites rebelled against God despite what He had already done for them, yet God still delivered them from the Egyptians pursuing them.  When He did that, they believed His promises and sang His praise.  Yet, they soon forgot and sinned against Him once more.   The psalmist points out that this led God to say that He would destroy them, and that He only refrained from doing so because His chosen one stood in the breach before Him.  In this case, God’s chosen one was Moses, but it foreshadows the way in which God’s Chosen One, Jesus, stands in the breach for us today.  God chose Jesus to save us so that we might give thanks to Him.  Once God has saved us, the psalmist tells us that we should tell others what God has done for us.  I cried to the Lord in my trouble and He saved me from my distress.  I will give thanks to God for His unfailing love and tell of His wonderful deeds to all who will listen.  If you have been similarly experienced God’s redemption, tell those you meet so that they might come to know Him.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
