Scott Allen teaches today's lesson from Psalm 105:1-11 and 42-45. The people of Israel had a special relationship with God. They received special promises as a result of a covenant with God. God honored his promises, bringing them back out of Egypt and into the "promised land." Christians today also enjoy a special relationship. The God who has kept all of his historical promises will also keep His promises to us. Therein we find joy, assurance of answered prayer, and reasons for gratitude and thanksgiving as we make our life journeys. Most importantly, we recognize that our worship and obedience are a proper response to all that God has graciously done on our behalf.
