Psalm 105:1 is an action verse. The psalmist lists three actions to take:
1. give thanks to the LORD
2. pray
3. tell others what he has done.
3. tell others what he has done.
Why give thanks to the God? Saying thank-you keeps me grateful. Self-centeredness separates me from God. Gratefulness removes self-centeredness.
Praying is conversing with God. Jesus often went off by himself to pray. If Jesus did it, I am doing it.
Giving God credit for what he has done in my life is another way to remove self-centeredness. Giving thanks keeps me humble. I am not taking credit for providing my needs and wants. I am giving God credit for providing them. By telling others how God is working in my life, I have the opportunity to share my faith with another person.
