I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 105-107.
These three psalms focus on the same theme: the wondrous things God has done. The first one tells us to give thanks to God and proclaim to the entire world what He has done. In it the psalmist recounts the wonderful things which God did for the people of Israel in bringing them out of Egypt and giving them the Land of Canaan. However, he also reminds us that it is not enough to praise God, we need to seek and obey God. The second psalm repeats the themes of the first, but recounts how God was faithful and did miracles for the children of Israel even though they were unfaithful. The troubles which God saved the people from were the result of their sin. His miracles called them back to Him.
The third psalm in today’s passage continues the them about praising God and telling others about what He has done, but it brings it to the personal. The first two looked at what God had done for the people of Israel as a group. This psalm talks about what God did for individuals. The first two told us to proclaim what God had done in guiding history. This psalm tells us to speak out about what God has done for us. The psalmist tells us not to be afraid to tell others about what God has done for us. Actually, he goes further than that, he tells us to actively bring it up, in the face of those who reject God. If you were suffering the consequences of your sins, cried out to God and were rescued, tell people about it. Be bold! Perhaps the person you are speaking with needs to call out to God.
