In what ways can we praise God for His mighty acts today? Setting the scene: the song at the sea “ At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood upright like a heap; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.” (Exodus 15:8) The Red Sea truly split in two. Israel walked through on dry ground, and Pharaoh’s chariots sank like lead. That historic moment of deliverance ignited a song of praise—an overflow that still teaches us how to worship when we see God’s power on display today. Why the same God still deserves the same praise • Malachi 3:6—He has not changed. • Hebrews 13:8—Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday and today and forever.” • Psalm 150:2—“Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His excellent greatness.” Because His character and power remain unchanged, His people should remain vocal. Recognizing His mighty acts in our own generation 1. Salvation through the cross and empty tomb • Colossians 1:13-14—rescued from darkness, forgiven of sin. 2. Daily provision and protection • Matthew 6:11—our “daily bread.” 3. Transformation of hearts • 2 Corinthians 5:17—new creations in Christ. 4. Guidance of the Holy Spirit • Romans 8:14—led as sons and daughters. 5. Growth of the global church • Acts 2:47—“And the Lord added to their number daily.” 6. Wonders in creation • Psalm 19:1—the heavens keep declaring His glory. 7. Personal deliverances—addictions broken, relationships restored, bodies healed. • Psalm 40:2—“He set my feet upon a rock.” Practical ways to praise God for His mighty acts today • Sing Scripture-saturated songs – Exodus 15 shows an original worship song; we echo that pattern with hymns and modern choruses grounded in truth (Colossians 3:16). • Tell your story – “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul” (Psalm 66:16). Share testimonies at home, in small groups, on social media. • Teach the next generation – “One generation will commend Your works to the next” (Psalm 145:4-6). Family devotions, church classes, bedtime conversations all pass along God’s exploits. • Celebrate the ordinances – Baptism dramatizes rescue; the Lord’s Supper remembers the ultimate deliverance (1 Corinthians 11:26). • Obey sacrificially – Romans 12:1 calls our bodies “a living sacrifice.” Every step of obedience is a praise offering that says, “You are worth it.” • Pray bold, expectant prayers – Ephesians 3:20 acknowledges “Him who is able to do immeasurably more.” When He answers, public thanksgiving magnifies His name. • Serve others in His strength – 1 Peter 4:11—service “by the strength God provides” spotlights His power, not ours. • Steward creation well – Genesis 1:28 and Psalm 24:1 remind us that caring for His world honors the One who formed it. • Stand firm in trials – When believers face fiery furnaces or stormy seas with unshaken trust (Daniel 3:17-18; Acts 16:25), observers glimpse the same God who parted the Red Sea. A fresh song every day Isaiah 12:5 urges, “Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things; let this be known in all the earth.” Whether His power shows up in global revivals or quiet answered prayers, we respond like Miriam with tambourine in hand—declaring, singing, serving, and living lives that point every eye to the God who still makes a path through impossible waters. |
