And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
Isaiah 6:8, ESV
God wants to change this world for His glory and our good. He calls us to go in His name.
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21, ESV
We give up our old life when coming to Christ, and that can include our plans. Our ultimate goal in Christ is to know Christ and make Him known in the world.
All this happened
Psalm 105:45, CSB
so that they might keep his statutes
and obey his instructions.
Hallelujah!
God showed His faithfulness and goodness by redeeming Israel and showing His nature through His commands. He has shown us His love and expectations, and He proved them through Christ. Now He empowers us to love, rejoice, and obey while sharing this gospel with the world.
For he remembered his holy promise
Psalm 105:42-43, CSB
to Abraham his servant.
He brought his people out with rejoicing,
his chosen ones with shouts of joy.
God showed His faithfulness and goodness by keeping His promise to redeem Abraham’s descendants. We can rejoice like Israel that God has remembered His promise and saved us through Christ and empowered us to rejoice and share this good news in this world.
He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
Psalm 105:41, CSB
it flowed like a stream in the desert.
God shows His faithfulness and goodness by providing water for Israel while the wandered in the wilderness. Likewise, He shows His faithfulness through Christ and empowering we who believe in Him with the Holy Spirit to remain faithful in sharing the gospel.
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.
