“Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples, Sing to Him, sing songs to Him; Talk of His wondrous works. Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD.” (vv.1-3)
Psalm 105 is a psalm of history. In it, the psalmist recounts what the LORD has done for His people. Declaring the faithfulness of God to His word (covenant), and recounting the goodness and grace He has shown to them throughout their lives. Here in the opening of the text (vv.1-3), the psalmist is exhorting the people to “give thanks” to God for all He has done, to “make known His deeds” (testify) and “talk of His wondrous works, to rejoice, to sing of Him, sing songs to Him (worship), and give glory to His name."
Wow! What a great exhortation. How often do we as Christians do this? If the truth be known, probably not enough. But, like the nation of Israel, each one of us has a history, a story to tell of what God has done for us. Our story (testimony) can show others the grace and goodness of God in our own lives. Thereby making known His deeds, and His wondrous works, which have brought each of us to salvation. This then will allow God to work through us, and use us, to bring others to Him, and to glorify His holy name.
Therefore, “make known His deeds among the peoples and talk of His wondrous works" - tell your story. It could save a life from destruction.
The Truth: “All Your works shall praise You O LORD, and Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.” (Psalm 145:10-12)
