Lessons in the Wilderness - Part 7
Psalm 105:1-6
The first part of this passage is a much-needed reminder that not only do we have so much to praise God for, but we also have so much to thank Him for. He has done such great things for us and we shouldn't pass up opportunities to thank Him. Too often when we pray, we are talking to God about things we need, things we want, things that need to be better, etc. It's very easy to do -- and we know that He wants us to come to Him with these things. However, let us not forget that He is worthy of our praise and our thanksgiving. Take a moment to write down some things you are thankful for that God has done for you. Do this often so that you get in the habit of coming to Him with a thankful heart.
The second part of this passage is a great reminder, too, that our God is a safe place. The author invites us to search for the Lord and His strength -- through Him we are strong. The author reminds us to remember the miracles and wonders God has performed, the many things He has done for us -- and there are so many. The author reminds us that we are His children and He always gives His children what He has promised -- guidance, provision, strength, protection, and a name. We are also given the command to tell the world what He has done for us. We are a living testimony of the power of God.
He has been faithful to His people all these years, and He's not finished yet. What are you thankful for? What are you searching for? Who have you told about His greatness?
Remember to bring all of these things to God and continually seek HIM.
