A Personal Psalm 105

We all need a personal psalm 105.

We all need a document that reminds us, in a personal way, of the mighty work of God.

Psalm 105 opens with:

Give thanks to the LORD and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done. Sing to him; sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles. Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the LORD be happy. Depend on the LORD and his strength; always go to him for help. Remember the miracles he has done; remember his wonders and his decisions.

The rest of the psalm reviews the mighty acts of deliverance for the benefit of God’s people.

This work of God, every single mighty act, was to inspire the people of God to follow Him with gladness and conviction.

I know it might break blog protocol to assign homework so I offer this merely as a suggestion: Write your own personal psalm 105.

Feel free to use the opening verses as written by the psalmist but in the middle section - make it your own.

Document your own “song” of deliverance, a psalm to chronicle the work of God in your life.

Such a document might come in handy, it might make a good reminder to follow with gladness and certainty.

i can already think of a couple of ways to organize (format) it…

so, i finished reading ‘the shack’…i am still formulating a more complete thought on it. read anything else of recent you’d recommend? besides handing out homework assignments? am working on my reading list for winter break and next summer.

“Give thanks to the LORD and pray to Him. Tell the world what He has done for you. Take joy in singing to Him, knowing the joy He takes in you. Revel in Him; remember that He is your Father and you are His precious child. You don’t need anything but Him, for He is everything. Trust Him. Love Him. Remember Him. Praise the LORD for Who He Is and what He has done.”

What blessed me most about this was remember that I don’t need anything else besides God. Thanks, brother.
