Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always

Psalm 105:1-45

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his namemake known among the nations what he has doneSing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name;  let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength;  seek his face always.

Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced, you his servants, the descendants of Abraham, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.

He remembers his covenant foreverthe promise he made, for a thousand generations, the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.

They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons, till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him trueThe king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free. He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed, to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.

For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant AbrahamHe brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy; he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for—that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws.
Why?

Reason: Give praise to the Lord proclaim his name, and remember what the Lord has done to us, salvation and many wonderful things.

Attitude: Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. We should rejoice and even if we have something worse, we should rejoice for the Lord has his plan on us. Like Joseph in Egypt, The Lord let Egyptians bruise his feet with shackles, till the word of the Lord proved him true.

For the Lord remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham, so as to all who follow Jesus Christ, through Jesus Christ we may be sons of the Lord and have the promise from the Lord.

Action: Lel's us keep his precepts and observe his laws.

How?

Rejoice always, proclaim God's holy name, keep his precepts and observe his laws.
