Psalm 106:29-48
As we reach the end of Psalm 106, we get a little clearer picture of the circumstances in which this Psalm was written. In verse 47 the Psalmist makes the request of "Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations." So from the sounds of it, Israel is not together as a nation but has been scattered and is in exile. It's a tough and sad situation. But even so, the Psalmist begins and ends with a call to praise and give thanks to the Lord.
So what does Psalm 106 show us about the how, when, why and where of praising the Lord? How can you use this Psalm to help you continue to praise whatever your circumstances? Tami W.
This Psalm helps to remind me that my praise of God should never be dependent on my circumstances but on His character. God stayed the same throughout all His dealings with Israel; it was the people that changed. As they forgot Him, rebelled, cried for help, praised Him, forgot Him, rebelled, cried for help, praised Him - His faithfulness and lovingkindness remained steadfast (amazing!!!). THAT is why I should praise Him, because He is the same no matter how much I change and no matter how many times I fail Him! Praise the Lord!
