Writing our part of the story....

Psalm 105

God’s Faithfulness to Israel

¹ O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
   make known his deeds among the peoples.
² Sing to him, sing praises to him;
   tell of all his wonderful works.
³ Glory in his holy name;
   let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
⁴ Seek the Lord and his strength;
   seek his presence continually.
⁵ Remember the wonderful works he has done,
   his miracles, and the judgements he has uttered,
⁶ O offspring of his servant Abraham,
   children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 

It’s Sunday; for the community of disciples this is a special day when we meet together and re-tell the story of God in Christ to each other; the liberation story of the fulfilment of the promises of God in and through the work of Jesus. This retelling of God’s story has been the will of God from the beginning. In Genesis 3:15 God told the story that salvation from meeting our needs our own way would one day come. God the creator revealed Himself as God the Redeemer.  In the story Noah God the Redeemer saves humanity by providing the means of escaping the flood of disasters and promises to sustain humanity until the age to come. The Creator, Sustaining Redeemer reveals Himself over and over again in scripture. In our day and time He continues to do so through the Lord Jesus Christ and His New Creation, Sustaining and Redeeming work.  In today’s psalm we get an insight into the psalmist’s commitment to telling the story in His day and time. We stand in a long line of liberation story tellers. As we gather in community today be conscious of the long history of faithfulness  and witness that we have an opportunity to contribute to and in so doing write our part of the story.
