He Does A Lot

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

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. 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. His, Pastor Fred
