Psalm 106 is
a psalm of remembrance. Its purpose is
to remind God’s people of their past.
God provided for His people. He
gave them a home in a time of famine. He
brought them out of Egypt when the time was right. He gave them a land as inheritance. God is a God of provision. He cares for us. If Go can care for an entire nation in
bondage and then in the wilderness, He can care for a nation in any time.
This psalm
is also a psalm of praise. There is a
clear declaration in this psalm. God
deserves the glory. God deserves the
praise. He is the one who works. He is the one with foresight. He is the mover and shaker in the world. He
is the one who is capable of providing for us.
God should be the focus of our praise.
This psalm
is also a teaching psalm. In each phase
of God’s work, do you see the leadership that God raises up? God starts with Abraham and Jacob. Then We hear about Joseph. Then we hear about Moses and Aaron. We don’t hear about Joshua, but we certainly
hear about the Lord’s work through Him.
God teaches us that He will raise up leaders in the times of His
working. He won’t abandon us, He will
lead us and give us people to point to His leadership!
Why shouldn’t
we praise the Lord? He does everything
for us. He provides. He leads.
He knows our needs. He supports
us. He gives us something to follow.
