Yes, I am Praising God!
While Psalm 105 focuses on the covenant God has with His people, Psalm 106 recalls the failings of the Israelites. We can learn from these failures and avoid the mistakes made by Israel.
Time & again the Israelites sinned against the Lord in rebellion towards God & Moses v7, 14, 16, 32-33, idolatry v19, 28, 35-39 and faithlessness v25. And that was all in the backdrop of tremendous miracles, provision & victory of God. One major problem the Israelites and for that matter, the modern day people like us are prone to do, is to forget His goodness & blessings, v7, 13, 21-22.
Often it’s in our forgetfulness or taking God for granted that would lead to rebellious deeds. Hence, Psalms 103, 104 & 105 are duly apt to teach us to praise God. For we guard our hearts from sin & rebelliousness when we remember God’s faithfulness & blessings and guard our spirits by praising Him! “Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?” Ps 106:1-2
Application:
Take 10 minutes to praise the Lord today. Remember His goodness to you & be assured that you need to only wait patiently for Him to come through for you in your trials.
