Psalm 106 is an historical Psalm, and in it David carefully
reviews the history of the nation of Israel from the Red Sea
crossing to the entrance into the Promised Land. God blessed the
nation of Israel in a tremendous way, yet the people rebelled
against Him and demanded those things that were not good for them.
When nothing else would suffice, God gave the people the desires of
their hearts, but sent leanness to their souls.
Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom
he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” God’s plan for
spreading the Gospel is through His redeemed children. We who have
had the blood of Christ applied to our lives must be faithful in
verbally proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In Romans 1:16 Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” We
should not be ashamed of our salvation. Too many people today who
are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb do not say so. God has chosen
human beings to be the instruments for sharing the Gospel. When the
child of God knows he has been saved from the penalty of sin; that
he is being saved from the power of sin; and that some day he will
be saved from the very presence of sin, then he ought to tell a lost
and dying world about it!
