How can Psalm 106:10 inspire us to praise God for His salvation? Reading the Verse Psalm 106:10: “He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.” Remembering the Rescue • The psalm looks back to the Red Sea (Psalm 106:9), where the Lord literally parted the waters and Israel walked through on dry ground (Exodus 14:21-22). • “That day the LORD saved Israel from the hand of the Egyptians” (Exodus 14:30). • Because this deliverance is recorded as real history, it assures us that God’s saving power is not symbolic but concrete and trustworthy. What Salvation Means • “Saved” highlights God’s power to snatch His people out of real danger. • “Redeemed” points to the cost involved—God personally pays the price to set His people free (Isaiah 43:1; 1 Peter 1:18-19). • In Christ this takes its fullest shape: “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Ephesians 1:7). Reasons to Praise • His salvation is decisive—He acts when no one else can. • His salvation is personal—He knows exactly who is in need and calls them by name (John 10:3). • His salvation is complete—He delivers from both physical foes and the greater enemies of sin, death, and the devil (Colossians 1:13-14). • His salvation is faithful—what He did once for Israel proves He will keep every promise to us today (2 Corinthians 1:20). • His salvation is ongoing—past rescue guarantees present help and future hope (Romans 8:32). Living in Praise • Rehearse His past rescues—read Exodus 14 aloud, then Psalm 106, letting gratitude rise. • Sing of redemption—choose songs that celebrate both the cross and the empty tomb. • Tell the story—share with others how God has personally delivered you from sin’s grip. • Walk in freedom—since He redeemed you, refuse to return to the enemy’s territory (Galatians 5:1). • Keep looking ahead—every act of praise now is a foretaste of the eternal song around His throne (Revelation 7:10). |
