God’s Flash Drive

gods-flash-drive3Ps 105 “God’s Flash Drive”

One of the ways in today’s world that we can save and retrieve data to be used later is a flash drive for our computer.  You can have it easily retrievable or encrypt it. God’s Word is like a flash drive that you can insert into your computer, retrieve the data and read it. It is readily available for anyone seeking and pondering Him. His flash drive contains words of wisdom; instructions for life, words of reproof, words of correction, and the training manual for righteousness. David didn’t have a flash drive nor a computer but he has left us what would be on it if he did and the marvelous treasure is that we can open it and read it as if we were reading it. It was his “flash drive” of how to praise God.

David’s Flash Drive data a.k.a. Psalm 105:  “T-T-S-S”

  1. T = Thanks! 1  Pray and give thanks to the Lord; Call on his name; Sing to him. May God be on our lips first.
  2. T= Tell! Tell ourselves to recall all He has done for us. Share with another about  what God has done in your life or keep a journal of what God has brought about.
  3. S= Sing! Sing to him! Make music to him! What hymn or praise song comes to mind as you are reading this post?
  4. S= Seek! Seek the Lord and rejoice, seek his strength, seek him continually.

So what’s on your flash drive?

What/Who is on your agenda today?

ImageDo you have memory aids to help you recall things? Some of use that tool to recall different thoughts such as “G-God’s R-riches A-at C-Christ’s E-expense.” We look for these simple acronyms because we are a people who are busy about many things. Already as you are beginning to read, your mind is on two tracks, what you are reading and what you have to do “next.” The psalmist (105) is encouraging us to stop and reflect and to do so gives us several ways to step off the treadmill of life and to bring God into our moment by moment thinking. Step by step the psalmist gives us memory aids in the form of commands that our lives might be focused on Him. There is an easy way to remember this in the busyness of our lives: “T-T-S-S”

  1. T = Thanks!  Give thanks to the Lord! Today you will be given many opportunities to thank another. Boast about him and his holy name. May God be on our lips first rather than ourselves Plan to boast and thank God today.
  2. T= Tell!  Tell about what he has done in your life. Tell about his miraculous deeds. Recall the miraculous deeds he has performed. Keep a journal of what God has brought about. Think back and record how God has been at work. Plan and then share your testimony to the world.
  3. S= Sing! Sing to him! Make music to him! What hymn or praise song can you share even right now?
  4. S= Seek! Seek the Lord is given three times: those whose heart seek him rejoice, those who seek him will be given strength, those who seek him do it continually. Stop right now and seek His face that He may be first in your agenda for today.

As you look at your daily to do list, stop and do a “T-T-S-S” and see if God is on that agenda.
