Psalm 105

Psalm 105:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done."

This is yet another Psalm about what God has done. Our God is a God of action. He does things. Not just talk, not just plans or ideas, He actually gets things done. Big things, little things, and all sizes of things in between. No task too great for Him or matter so small that He isn't attentive to it. But, the actual doing is the key. In sentence structure, nouns are wonderful, they give names to everything so we know what to call them. But without verbs, a sentence goes nowhere. For your inspiration today I will list all the verbs in Psalm 105 that describe God with verbs. Amazing what all He does when you take those words together and see Him in action.

He is
He remembers
He made
He swore
He confirmed
He allowed
He called
He sent
He turned
He spoke
He struck
He spoke
He brought
He spread
He opened
He gave

He did everything necessary to keep His promises and to fulfill His will and additionally to love, provide and guide His people. I want to be in partnership with the only true God who does that. This is not an exhaustive list of all He has, can and will do. Just one Psalm, written by David to remind the people of God's hand in their lives. Towards the end of the Psalm David discloses God's purposes for doing what He does. In verse 45 it says.... "that they might keep His precepts and observe His laws. Praise the Lord." I think a little more obedience is in order. After all, God does do a lot, and since God is such a God of action, maybe I ought to take action in response to Him.
