Sing praise to him, play music;
proclaim all his wondrous deeds!
Glory in his holy name;
let hearts that seek the LORD rejoice! (Psalm 105:2-3 NABRE)
Psalm 105 is a hymn to God who promised the land of Canaan to the holy people of Israel. In today's passage, Israel is invited to praise and seek the presence of God. In subsequent verses, Israel is reminded that God had been faithful to the promise of land to their ancestors. In every phase of Israel's national story God remained faithful, reiterating the promise of the land to successive servants.*
Lord God, just as you invited the people of Israel to praise you and to seek your holy presence, you invite all your children to do the same. Even after all the time that has passed since the days you first chose Israel to be your people, you have been faithful to those who belong to you. Thank you for your faithfulness and especially for inviting me. I will seek you in each moment of this day. I am filled with joy. I celebrate your greatness today and every day!
Today, I will accept God's invitation to praise him and seek his presence.
Saint Gertrude the Great, thirteenth-century mystic whose life reminds us that prayer is the heart of the Christian life, pray for us.
