Day 141 – Psalm 105

“He remembered His holy promise…” Psalm 105:42a

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

The Scriptures that God gave to the children of Israel contained many things:

1. History of the nation

2. Laws for the nation

3. Prophecies

4. Promises

The psalmist gratefully recalled that all God had done for His people were so that He could fulfil His promises made to Abraham.

“For He remembered His holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.
He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with gladness.”
Psalm 105:42-43
