THE STORY OF JESUS: Psalm 105
“Remember the wonders he has done!” (Psalm 105:5)
In this song the psalmist praises God for His role in their history.
We ought to see our own story in light of the world’s story, and God’s!
This calls for some historical perspective, which many of us lack.
As I recall the things I’ve learned in history, its a wonder we’re still here.
Humans have been given great responsibility in the world.
But how cruel, corrupt, violent and destructive we have been, and still are.
History is filled with many bleak, dark moments – disease, disaster, destruction.
And yet again and again, God intervenes, turns the tables, raises up a new hope.
Consider the history of the Jews – its a wonder they still survive.
Consider the history of the church – its a wonder it still exists.
God will not forget His creation dream, nor will He abandon His creation family.
Through all the stories of history, the Jesus story underlies them all.
God stepping in, enduring sin and misery with us, breaking its hold through love.
Do you see God’s love in your story, how He is intervening in Your life?
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, Your love shines through history, and Your love shines through my story. Remind me of specific ways You’ve loved and helped me, that I may praise You even more!
