Psalm 105
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he
has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek
the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
Give,
sing, glory, and look. The verses begin with action verbs.
Maybe a
good understanding of the word “give” here would be to release, offer,
acknowledge. There is the unstated idea that God is worthy of our released
praise.
Sing and
tell of his wonderful acts. This is the fundamental essence of witness or that
uncomfortable word evangelize. Another way to say it would be to have something
to tell people about. Something that might strike a chord with someone.
Glory…bask,
sunbath, get tickled. Feel really great in His presence.
Look,
seek, be active and intentional rather than passive about knowing God and his
benefits.
May
today and always our faith be active rather than passive. May others describe
our faith with action verbs and impressive adjectives.
There
you have the Psalmist’s grammar lesson for the day.
Peace,
Mike
