Praise God for the Works God has Done in the Past



Verses: Psalms 105: 1 - 45

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.





My thoughts about the verses:

God has brought so many blessings to us in the past.  In this Psalm we are reminded of everything that God did to ensure the Israelites had a safe place.  God helped them overcome times of famine.  God helped the people overcome the struggles in Egypt.  God brought them out of their slavery into freedom.  God led them to the promise land and brought them to their own land.

We can all look at our life and see the wonderful work that God has done in our life.  Everyday God performs miracles that help us overcome the impossible.  The miracles may seem small at the time yet when you look back you can see how big they really are.

Yet, we often are like the Israelites we forget to praise God for the miracles in our life.  We spend our time so wrapped up in our misfortunes or bumps in the road that we miss what we are given.  We come to expect God to save us without offering thanks to God when we do receive blessings.
The best way to thank God for the miracles that happen is to lift our voices in praise.  To thank God for the little things that make our lives complete.  Give God the entire honor when the speed bumps in our life erode.  We need to lift our voices up in praise to keep our life in focus with the one most high.

Praising God is not a hard thing.  There are so many miracles that happen each day that there are millions of reasons why to say thank you.  The fact that you woke up this morning and was able to take in a new day is reason enough to praise God.

People around us need to see that we praise God for our blessings.  What we miss is that people are looking at us and following our lead.  People that profess to be Christians should spend part of everyday lifting up praise to the One who made us. 

We need to show others though our kindness the love of God.  Someone today needs to see Jesus.  Can you be Jesus for someone today?  There are so many simple acts that we can do to spread the love of God.  I can think of no better way of praising and honoring God than helping the world around us. 

Look at your life.  Look at the life of people around you.  Find the reason to lift praises up to God.  Find a way to be a light in someone’s darkness.  The ancestors of Jesus showed how following God was the right way to do things.  Jesus is our role model and we need to follow the way of the Messiah.  Open your heart up today and allow your love to reach someone in need.
 
Prayer:

We praise you God for our very breath of life.  We thank you for showing us miracles each day.  Help us to stay focused on serving you.  Help us remember the love that you show us each and every day.  Help us be Jesus to someone to day.  In the name of the Holy One we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Have you thanked God today for the miracles in your life?  Have you helped someone in need?  Have you given your life over to the one that gave his life for you?  Are you being someone’s Jesus today?
