Day 156: March 23, 2026 – Psalms 64, 88, 105 and 130

I would like to focus on Psalm 105 which gives the full account of the people of Israel from Joseph through them being led out of Egypt by Moses. So we begin with the salvation of the population and the steps that God takes in order to save his people, lest we think that things happen by chance. Joseph was placed in Egypt for the purpose of being able to bring the people of Israel into Egypt, and so have them saved from the famine that struck the land. As a result, Joseph and his brothers settle in Egypt.

But there is a problem and the people of Israel suffer but God sends another person to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, after Joseph brought them in. Both of these things save the people of God. But what we read is only the positive cliff notes version. We don’t hear of the disobedience of the people, we just hear of the faithfulness of God. This is actually what we should be focusing upon anyway, just to remind us that God delivers even in the midst of our sin.
