Session Summary: Weekly Word Episode 4, Psalm 105:1-5

This session walked through Psalm 105:1-5 as a devotional teaching on giving thanks, praising God, seeking his presence, remembering his works, and sharing what he has done with others.

What Was Taught

The passage is also connected to Chronicles 16, where David gives this song to the people while ministering before the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant was described as symbolizing God’s presence and promises with the Israelites.
Verses 1 and 2 show a parallel structure: give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to him, then make his deeds known and tell of his wondrous works.
The teaching emphasized that praise begins with recognizing God’s greatness and goodness, then moves outward into telling others why he is worthy of praise.
Verses 3 and 4 continue a similar pattern: glory in God’s holy name, seek the Lord and his strength, rejoice, and seek his presence continually.
Verse 5 brings the focus back to remembering the wondrous works God has done, including his miracles and judgments.

Main Takeaway

The main call of the session was to slow down and remember what God has done. The teaching pointed out that people can be quick to forget God’s blessings and even quicker to forget how good he is. Psalm 105:1-5 gives a simple pattern: praise God, seek his presence, remember his works, and share those works with others.

Apply It This Week

Spend time sitting with Psalm 105:1-5 instead of rushing through it.
Remember specific things God has done for you.
Give thanks to God for the blessings he has given.
Seek the Lord and his presence continually.
Share with others why you are praising God.

Notable Moment

The session closed with a prayer thanking God for the word, praying for everyone watching, and asking that the message would be uplifting and helpful as they move into the week ahead.

00:22

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wondrous works, glory in his holy name, but the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually. Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles and the judgments he uttered. Now what's really cool about this passage is that it can also be seen in Chronicles 16. David gives this song to the people as he is ministering before the Ark of the Covenant. And if you don't know what the ark is in the Old Testament it symbolized God's presence and his promises being with the Israelites. So he's essentially praising God while he's in his presence and he gives the people this song. And so let's just kind of go through it to look at some of the things that David mentions. So if you look at verses one and two it has sort of this parallel nature to it where David will talk about he's saying give thanks to the Lord in verse one. And verse two, sing praises to him so it starts off both of these verses with praising God for his greatness and how good he is. And in the following verse it will say make his deeds known among the people to tell all of his wondrous works. And so with this it's saying first praise God and after praising him then also tell the people. Let the people know why you're praising him, let them know why he is so good. And if we continue on to verse three and four it has a very similar structure as well. Three will start off glory in his holy name for seek the Lord and his strength. So it's a recognizing of God's greatness again. And then it will follow it with let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice to seek his presence continually. And so there's this command to seek God to go after God and that presence. And finally in verse five he tells us to remember the wondrous works that he has done in his miracles. And that kind of wraps us all the way back around to verse one of remembering the things that God has done. Because oftentimes today it's like we're so quick to forget the blessings that God has given us. And even faster to forget how good he really is. And so I know that's a lot today so try to take some time to really just sit in this passage for a little bit. Try to remember those things that God has done for you. And thanks to him for those blessings that he has given you in his life. And then after you do so go ahead and share with people. Let's pray. Dear Lord, I thank you for this word. I thank you for this morning and I pray over everybody who's watching this that they will have just a blessed week ahead of them. Thank you God so much and I pray this word is just uplifting and helpful to everyone who hears it. Please name I pray. Amen. Thank you guys again for watching today and we will see you next week.
