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.
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.
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.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
Psalm 105:4, CSB
seek his face always.
God has done so much deserving of our praise, but we only know it and find those blessings when we seek Him with all of our being.
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
Psalm 105:3, ESV
God deserves all our worship, because our righteous Creator became like us to clothe us in righteousness. Let us praise and share His name throughout the world!
Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
Psalm 105:2, ESV
God deserves praise for all that He has done, especially our salvation from sin and the grave. He also deserves our obedience in sharing this good news with the world.
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
Psalm 105:1, ESV
We give thanks to God for what He has done, and in our gratitude we tell the world of His faithfulness and forgiveness.
