Friday the 21st: Psalm 105

 

 Most of the psalms in Lent are penitential or lament oriented: this psalm is different but related; it asks the reader to trust that the marvelous things God has done in the past, he will continue to do now and in the future, even if current events would seem to deny that possibility.

 Remember the marvels the Lord has done. 

When the LORD called down a famine on the land
and ruined the crop that sustained them,
He sent a man before them,
Joseph, sold as a slave.

They had weighed him down with fetters,
and he was bound with chains,
Till his prediction came to pass
and the word of the LORD proved him true.

The king sent and released him,
the ruler of the peoples set him free.
He made him lord of his house
and ruler of all his possessions.
 

This may contain: a stained glass window with several men in black robes and one is holding the hand of another man
