Our scripture this morning is Psalm 105:1-2 (ESV).

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!

This song of praise reminds us that God is the source of all things and we owe Him thanks and praise for our very existence. It was composed by David and the first part was originally sung during the procession bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 16). It continues with a summary of God’s promise to the children of Abraham and the Exodus from Egypt.

It was important for the people to remember their history as laid out in this psalm, and God’s saving grace that led them to the Promised Land. God intended it as a new start for them, but they got comfortable in the ways of the world quickly. The hard truth is we often forget what the Lord has done for us when things are good.

The last phrase of this passage encourages us to “tell of all his wondrous works!” It is a call to evangelism, sharing the joy of what God has done for us with the world. God wants everyone to know of His love and connect with Him personally.

Heavenly Father, You have blessed us and led us in Your ways so that we could be saved. May we always remember Your love for us and carry it to everyone. Amen.
