Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
These are fitting words for the psalms that we read through today! All three are psalms of praise that tell of the many acts and words of the Lord and all three proclaim His glory and splendor! I don’t honestly think that there is a lot to be added to these Psalms… I think that they are best re-read over and over. I would encourage you to do that today! Take time to read these Psalms at least two more times. As you do this, take time to think back over the past 6 months… over all that we have read and encountered in the Scriptures. Do you remember the times that the psalmist is talking about? Take some more time to think about the things in your life… how have you seen God at work in your day to day walk?
PSALM 103-105 are psalms of praise and thanksgiving that are written anonymously. Each is didactic in nature, with psalm 105 actually being more of a historical account of God’s amazing works in redemptive history. Though all three reference times past, they can also draw our attention to God’s work in the present and in our own lives as well.
