What is the meaning of Psalm 105:26? He sent • The verse opens by spotlighting God as the active Agent. He is not a passive observer but the One who initiates deliverance. • Throughout Scripture, redemption begins with God’s action—Exodus 3:7-10 records the Lord saying, “I have surely seen the affliction… so I have come down to rescue them… therefore go! I am sending you to Pharaoh.” • Psalm 106:8 echoes the same pattern: “Yet He saved them for the sake of His name.” • In the New Testament, the same sending motif culminates in John 3:17, where “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” Moses • Moses is named first because he was the primary human instrument through whom God brought Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 3:1-10; Acts 7:35-36). • His life testifies that God can use an 80-year-old shepherd as readily as a palace-trained prince. • Hebrews 11:24-27 highlights Moses’ faith, emphasizing that his significance came from trusting God, not from personal pedigree. His servant • Calling Moses “His servant” underscores humble obedience rather than celebrity status. The term appears repeatedly—Numbers 12:7, “My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.” • Servanthood in Scripture carries honor (Joshua 1:2; Isaiah 42:1) because it links a person’s identity directly to God’s purposes. • Matthew 25:21 shows the ultimate commendation: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” and Aaron • God pairs Moses with his older brother to complement weaknesses and reinforce testimony: Exodus 4:14-16 shows Aaron speaking for Moses, while Exodus 7:1 calls him “your prophet.” • Two witnesses satisfy Deuteronomy 19:15, and Moses-Aaron teamwork models the New Testament principle of ministry in pairs (Mark 6:7; Acts 13:2). • Aaron’s priestly role foreshadows Christ, our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14). whom He had chosen • Election is God’s prerogative. Aaron did not campaign for priesthood; God declared it (Exodus 28:1). Likewise, Moses initially resisted (Exodus 3:11; 4:10-13), proving that divine choice overrules human reluctance. • Psalm 105:43-45 reminds readers that God’s choosing aims at covenant fulfillment: bringing people into the land so they “might keep His statutes.” • Ephesians 2:10 applies the principle to believers today: “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand.” summary Psalm 105:26 reminds us that deliverance starts with God, flows through servants who depend on Him, and advances by divine choice. Moses and Aaron were ordinary men made extraordinary because the Lord sent them, called them “servant,” teamed them together, and chose them for His glory. The same God continues to send, equip, and choose people today so His salvation story marches on. |
