Psalm 105 is the place my Bible opened to as I was
preparing for my quiet time recently. In the NASB translation the heading is “The Lord’s Wonderful Works in Behalf of
Israel.”
As
I read that Psalm, it was impressed on me all that the Lord did to display His
majesty in seeking justice for His people, and how the unbelievers hardened
their hearts to each act and miracle until “Egypt
was glad when they departed” (v. 38). Yet when God delivered them, it was
with silver and gold lining their pockets! Verse 37 says: “Then He brought them out with silver and gold.”
What
a precious reminder of how You, Father God, save and rescue completely with a
richness of plan! Your rescue is always sweet even if the circumstances are
difficult.
V.
43 And He brought forth His people with
joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.”
You
delight to save and to rescue Your children, Father! May those who are being
rescued not resist. If they hear Your word today, may it fall on fertile ground
--- may they receive it with eager hearts for it is “able to save their souls”.
(James 1:17 NASB)
Thank
you for the provision of Your Son, Jesus Christ –- Your gift to a world lost in
sin. Amen.
As
we each celebrate this Holy Season of Christ’s birth, may we pause and give
thanks to The One who humbled Himself and came as a Babe so that we “shall not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16 NASB)
Blessings
and wishes to you, dear readers, for a joyous and Merry Christmas!
