Psalms 105:1

 Psalms 105:1 says, O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.  Giving thanks to God and making His works known to people is what we as followers of Christ should be doing today as well.  Verse two adds, Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.  We do this in worship services in the church building, but we should do this out in the world as well.  Verse three continues, Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. David called on the people of Isreal to glory in the holy name of God and to let the hearts of those who sought Him rejoice.  This is what we need in America today.  Christians should glory in the name of God and those that seek and find God through faith in Jesus Christ should rejoice.  Verse four states, Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.  As David said, we need to seek God's strength as we live life everyday.  Verse five adds, Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;  As we remember the marvelous works that God has done, the most important one I believe is the work of redemption when Jesus Christ came to die for our sins.  Verse six says, O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.  Israel was God's chosen people then, and we as followers of Christ are His chosen people today.  It was not because the people of Isreal were better than other people because of who they were physically, but because of their relationship to God spiritually that they were His chosen people, and so it is with Christians today.  Verse seven adds, He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.  David said that God was their God and His judgments applied not only to Isreal but to all the world.  This is still true today.  Verse eight continues, He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.  God's word is everlasting and we fall somewhere within that thousand generations.  Verse nine states, Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;  God entered into a covenant relationship with Abraham and continued it with Isaac, and it has never ceased to exist for those who put their faith in Him.  As followers of Christ, that covenant relationship is just as true today as it was then.  Verse ten adds, And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:  Again, David tells us that God's covenant relationship with His people is an everlasting covenant.  Verse eleven continues, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:  God promised the people of Israel the lord of Canaan, and He promises us a much better place today, and that is our heavenly home. Verse twelve concludes, When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.  When God promised the people of Israel the land of Canaan, they were a very small group of people, but they served an all powerful God.  No matter how small we may be in numbers today as Christians, we serve an all powerful God so we should sing His praises to the world no matter what.
