He sent Moses his servant,
Psalm 105:26-27, CSB
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
They performed his miraculous signs among them
and wonders in the land of Ham.
God is faithful, and He showed this by keeping His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by sending Moses to free Israel from slavery and promise a coming Savior from sin. God’s faithfulness also brought that Savior, and we can praise Him and carry this gospel as He moves us throughout the world.
Then Israel went to Egypt;
Psalm 105:23, CSB
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.
God is faithful, and He showed this in preserving Israel even through slavery as foreigners. Likewise, He is faithful to those who trust in Christ and live in a wicked world sharing the gospel until Christ’s return.
Until the time his prediction came true,
Psalm 105:19, CSB
the word of the Lord tested him.
God is faithful, and He showed that through giving Joseph having and interpreting dreams and then being faithful to save Israel, and ultimately it was shown in His covenant to bless the world. Jesus and His Church are also tested, but Jesus has shown He is the fulfilled promise and faithful witness of God.
He had sent a man ahead of them—
Psalm 105:17-18, CSB
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar.
God is faithful, and He showed this by protecting Abraham’s grandchild and great-grandchildren by sending Joseph to suffer and rise to save his family. Likewise, God’s faithfulness is ultimately found in His sending Christ to suffer for our sins and rise to glory for our salvation and hope.
When they were few in number,
Psalm 105:12-14
very few indeed,
and resident aliens in Canaan,
wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,
he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf
God is faithful, showing His faithfulness through His covenants. This is shown by protecting Israel during the Exodus, even when they were in rebellion. So too does He care for us whose faith is in Christ as we wander this world sharing the gospel until His return.
I will add a request for my current trip to continue well, encouraging and coaching pastors and teaching women. I have another week here.
Let us be thankful for SlimJim’s safe return from teaching and encouraging.

This Sunday at Church I just want to personally praise the Lord and share I am grateful to God for safe return from pastor’s training overseas.
This Sunday at Church: Grateful to God for safe return from pastor’s training overseas
the covenant he made with Abraham,
Psalm 105:9-10, CSB
swore to Isaac,
and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as a permanent covenant
God is faithful, showing His faithfulness through His covenants with Israel and beyond, promising that the world will be blessed through an offspring of Abraham: Jesus who came to save the world.
He remembers his covenant forever,
Psalm 105:8, CSB
the promise he ordained
for a thousand generations
God is worthy of praise, for He has established His covenants, starting with Adam through Noah to Abraham, Moses, and David, that He will redeem the earth. Praise God that He has fulfilled that covenant in Christ.
He is the Lord our God;
Psalm 105:7, CSB
his judgments govern the whole earth.
God is worthy of all praise, for He is our wise Creator and sovereign King of all things. Trust in the Lord of all Creation, praising His name.
Remember the wondrous works he has done,
Psalm 105:5-6, CSB
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,
you offspring of Abraham his servant,
Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.
God is worthy of all praise for all the good things He has done for us, and when we are found in Christ we are true sons of Abraham. Praise God for the grace found in Jesus.
