Make Known His Deeds

"O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people."  Psalms 105:1.  We have in this simple passage three grand admonitions.  Give thanks.  Call upon God.  Make known His deeds.  In a lot of instances, we desire to call upon Him without the giving of thanks and making known His deeds.  We often make requests of God and forget gratitude for blessings and deeds already bestowed.  Thanksgiving is a grace never to be forgotten.  Always should we be thankful to God and share with others what He has done for us.  We must not be ashamed of God, but rather be willing and anxious to tell of what He has given and performed for us as a result of our calling upon Him.  Calling upon God requires our trust in Him.  We believe that He is willing and able.  We believe that He is listening and that He hears.  Giving thanks is a sign of gratitude and humility that we have received from Him what we could not give nor do for ourselves. Making known His deeds speaks to our commitment unto Him and our desire for others to know God as we know Him.  God's demands of us are indeed simple.
