Make known His deeds among the peoples!
Talk of all His wondrous works! (Psalm 105:1-2)
In today's world, social media has become a powerful tool for spreading information and connecting with others. Every time we share content related to the works of the Lord on our social media platforms, we are obeying this mandate and impacting the world around us. By liking, commenting, and forwarding these posts, we are not only showing our support but also making it easier for others to discover the gospel message.
Imagine the impact we could have if we took this mandate seriously every day. By consistently sharing and promoting content related to the Lord's works, we could reach multitudes of people who may not have had the chance to hear the gospel otherwise. You and I have the power to make a real difference in the world through our actions on social media. Let’s do it!!
This verse also underscores the importance of sharing your testimony.
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! (Psalm 105:3)
In a world that can often feel overwhelming and discouraging, it's easy to fall into a state of depression or anxiety. However, this verse offers us hope and a solution to our struggles.
When we seek the Lord, we are tuning our hearts and minds towards Him. We are acknowledging that He is in control, and we are surrendering our worries and fears to Him. By seeking Him, we are opening ourselves up to His presence, and His peace and joy will flood our hearts. This will cause rejoicing.
The act of seeking the Lord should not be a one-time event but rather a continuous choice. So, if you are feeling down or discouraged lately, I encourage you to seek the Lord.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore! (Psalm 105:4)
Our relationship with God is not just about seeking His blessings or His help in times of trouble but about seeking Him for who He is.
When we seek the Lord, we are seeking the very person of God Himself. We are seeking to know Him, to love Him, and to be in His presence. We are acknowledging that He is the source of all life and goodness and that apart from Him, we can do nothing.
But seeking the Lord is not just about seeking His person; it's also about seeking His strength. The strength of the Lord is the power that enables us to live the life that He has called us to live. It's the power that gives us the ability to overcome sin and temptation, to love our enemies, to serve others sacrificially, and to endure difficult circumstances.
The strength of the Lord is not something that we can conjure up on our own. It's not a self-help strategy or a set of motivational techniques. Rather, it's a gift that comes from our relationship with Him. As we seek the Lord and His person, we are filled with His strength, which enables us to live the life that He has called us to live.
Saying, “ Do not touch my anointed ones, and do no harm to my prophets.” (Psalm 105:15)
When David was anointed by God to be the next king of Israel, he did not immediately take Saul's position by force. Instead, he waited for God's timing and remained respectful towards Saul, despite the fact that Saul was actively pursuing him and trying to kill him.
In one particular instance, when David and two other men sneaked into Saul’s camp at night, one of the two men asked to strike Saul with a spear as he felt God had delivered Saul into David’s hand. But David refused and said, “Who can stretch out his hand against the Lord’s anointed, and be guiltless?” (I Samuel 26: 3-11). In verses 15-16, David even rebukes Abner for not guarding Saul and says he deserved to die for not protecting his master.
Israel also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. (Psalm 105: 23)
The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalm 78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:22; 1 Chronicles 4:40.
He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes. (Psalm 105:37)
The Hebrew word for "feeble" in this verse, as per Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, is "kashal". It denotes a state of physical weakness, specifically weakness in the legs or ankles, which causes one to totter or stumble. It suggests a lack of stability and strength and implies that one is prone to faltering, fainting or being sickly. They came out strong and healthy, well able to travel.
It may seem puzzling that not a single person among the Israelites was feeble or weak when they left Egypt. After all, they had been living as slaves for generations, enduring harsh labour and abuse. It's possible that some of them had suffered injuries, sickness, or had simply become worn out from their labour.
During the Passover, as the firstborn sons of Egypt were being struck down, the Israelites who had marked their door frames with the blood of a lamb were spared. In addition, any Israelite who had previously been afflicted with a physical ailment was miraculously healed as they consumed the meat of the lamb they had slaughtered. By applying the blood and partaking of the lamb, they received both physical and spiritual restoration. God executed judgment upon the Egyptians while simultaneously bringing healing and restoration to the Israelites.
It is amazing to consider an entire nation, young and old, walking out of Egypt perfectly well. They were healed and strengthened by God to receive the promise- the promise of the land of Canaan. If this was possible under the Old Testament so how much more today in the New Testament which is a better covenant? (See Hebrews 8:6)
