Your mighty acts
The mighty acts refer to the powerful deeds and miracles performed by God throughout history. In the Old Testament, these include the creation of the world, the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, and the numerous victories in battles. These acts demonstrate God's sovereignty and power over creation and history. In the New Testament, the ultimate mighty act is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which signifies victory over sin and death. This phrase invites reflection on God's intervention in both personal and communal history, encouraging believers to trust in His continued power and presence.

and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom
The kingdom of God is a central theme in Scripture, representing God's rule and reign over all creation. The glorious splendor suggests beauty, majesty, and divine perfection. In the historical context of Israel, the kingdom was often associated with the Davidic monarchy, which foreshadowed the eternal kingdom established through Christ. Jesus frequently spoke of the kingdom of God, describing it as both a present reality and a future hope (Luke 17:20-21, Revelation 21:1-4). This phrase calls believers to recognize and proclaim the beauty and majesty of God's kingdom, which is characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).

The verse begins with a clear purpose: “to make known.” God’s people are not to keep His greatness private. They are commissioned to publicize it.

• Psalm 78:4 declares, “We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His power.”

• Isaiah 12:4 echoes, “Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim His name; make His works known among the nations.”

Sharing is not optional; it is obedience. Every testimony, every retelling of God’s rescue, magnifies Him and invites others to trust Him.

The audience is broad—“men” in the generic sense of all people.

• Psalm 22:27 foresees, “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD.”

• Acts 1:8 shows the pattern: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, “to the ends of the earth.”

God’s deeds are too glorious to be limited to one group. The reach of our witness must match the reach of His mercy.

The content of the message starts with power in action.

• Exodus 15:11 marvels, “Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”

• Psalm 106:8–10 recounts the Red Sea deliverance; Luke 1:51 praises God who “has performed mighty deeds with His arm.”

Bullet-point reminders of those mighty acts:

– Creation itself (Genesis 1)

– The flood and rescue of Noah (Genesis 7–8)

– Israel’s exodus and wilderness provision (Psalm 105:37–45)

– The cross and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–4)

Each showcases God’s unmatched strength and faithfulness.

“Mighty acts” point to works; “glorious splendor” highlights beauty and majesty.

• Psalm 96:6 tells us, “Splendor and majesty are before Him.”

• Psalm 104:1 exclaims, “O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.”

His glory is not abstract; it captivates hearts, stirs worship, and silences pride (Habakkuk 2:14).

All the power and beauty culminate in a realm—God’s kingdom.

• Psalm 103:19 affirms, “The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.”

• Daniel 4:3 declares, “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”

• Matthew 6:10 teaches us to pray, “Your kingdom come,” showing present longing and future fulfillment.

Revelation 11:15 looks ahead: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”

Proclaiming the kingdom points people to the rightful King, invites allegiance, and offers hope that history is moving toward His perfect rule.

Psalm 145:12 captures a mission statement: publicly announce God’s unmatched deeds and His breathtaking majesty so every person can recognize and submit to His eternal kingdom. Our role is to broadcast His power, beauty, and reign until the whole earth is filled with His glory.
