Psalm 105 - “Remember His Wonders” 🌾🔥🌍
Background:
Psalm 105 is a historical psalm that traces God’s faithfulness from Abraham to
the Promised Land. It’s a call to remember - not just facts from the past, but the
God of those facts. Through the ups and downs of Israel’s story, this psalm
celebrates God’s unbroken covenant love and His power to turn promises into
history.
Key Verse:
“Remember the wondrous works that He has done, His miracles, and the
judgments He uttered.” - Psalm 105:5
1. A Call to Praise and Remember
(vv. 1-7)
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord; call upon His
name; make known His deeds among the peoples!”
The psalm opens with a joyful summons to
praise. But this is no shallow excitement - it’s rooted in remembrance. God’s
people are urged to:
· Thank
Him for His faithfulness. 🙌
· Talk
about Him among the nations. 🌎
· Rejoice
in Him, not just His blessings. 💖
· Seek
His presence continually. 🔥
🕊️ True worship is
remembering who God is and what He’s done until gratitude becomes testimony.
2. God’s Covenant with the Patriarchs
(vv. 8-15)
“He remembers His covenant forever, the
word that He commanded, for a thousand generations.”
From Abraham to Isaac to Jacob, God bound
Himself with a promise. He swore to give them Canaan - though at the time, they
owned not a single piece of land.
💡 God’s promises often
come long before their fulfillment, but His memory never fades.
Even when they were few and wandering, He
guarded them:
“Do not touch My anointed ones; do My
prophets no harm.”
God’s covenant love meant protection even
in weakness. 🛡️
🌱 You may be small in
number or strength, but if God’s promise covers you, you are invincible in His
purpose.
3. God’s Hand in Joseph’s Story
(vv. 16-22)
The psalm turns to Joseph, the man sent
ahead of Israel to Egypt.
“He called for a famine on the land… He had
sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.”
🔹 Joseph’s pain was
preparation.
🔹
His suffering was a strategy.
🔹
His waiting was training for destiny.
“When the word of the Lord tested him…”
(v.19) - his faith was refined in fire until it matched his calling.
👑 When your situation
contradicts your calling, remember - the Word is testing you for the throne God
has planned.
4. From Egypt to Exodus (vv. 23-38)
Israel multiplied in Egypt until they
became a threat. God turned Egypt’s heart to hate them - and then He sent Moses
and Aaron.
🔥 The psalm recounts the
plagues - darkness, frogs, flies, hail, and locusts - not as random acts of
power but as proof that the Creator bends creation to rescue His people.
💭 Even chaos obeys God
when it serves His covenant.
Finally, the night came - the firstborn of
Egypt died, but Israel walked free, carrying silver and gold, not scars of
defeat.
🕊️ When God delivers,
He restores beyond what was lost.
5. God’s Provision in the Wilderness
(vv. 39-45)
He led them with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by
night. 🌤️🔥
He fed them quail and manna. 🍞
He split the rock and gave them water like a river. 💧
All because -
“He remembered His holy promise, and
Abraham His servant.”
It wasn’t Israel’s strength or faith that
sustained them - it was God’s covenant faithfulness.
💬 Even when His people
forgot Him, He remembered them.
And so the psalm ends with purpose:
“That they might keep His statutes and
observe His laws.”
God doesn’t just redeem for rescue - He
redeems for relationship.
💫 Reflection:
Psalm 105 teaches us that remembrance is an
act of faith. Forgetfulness leads to fear, but remembrance revives faith. The
God who wrote history is still writing yours. His covenant is not broken; His
Word still tests, shapes, and fulfills.
📖 If He remembered
Abraham, Joseph, and Israel, He will remember you.
