God Delivers Israel: Making Known God's Deeds (Psalm 105, Part 1)


God’s delivery of Israel illustrates His faithfulness to His promises, reminding us of God’s blessing throughout history. With the people of Israel we can praise God for all He has done and then make known God’s deeds.

The Covenant (verses 1-15)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+105%3A1-15&version=NIV

God put Himself under covenant bonds to His chosen people. As Christians we belong to the descendants of Abraham, inheriting their history, their God and their covenant. With praise we recall the history of redemption and witness to those outside God’s covenant community. Since all our benefits come from God, we give Him all our gratitude, making thanksgiving our primary activity.

We give thanks to You, Lord our God; we glory in Your holy name! We remember the wonderful works that You have done. In Your mercy, Your covenant obligates Yourself to be our God and to forgive our sins. We believe Your Word; give us strength to persevere and serve You.
