How can you personally "declare what He has done" for you today? The Psalmist’s Invitation “Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.” (Psalm 66:16) Why Our Declaration Matters • “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” (Psalm 107:2) • “We cannot help but speak about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20) • “They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” (Revelation 12:11) • “Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15) Simple, Everyday Ways to Declare What He Has Done • Speak it: weave a brief, natural story of God’s faithfulness into casual conversation with a coworker or neighbor. • Write it: send a text or handwritten note to someone who needs encouragement, including how the Lord met you in a similar moment. • Post it: share a concise, Scripture-anchored testimony on social media, pointing the glory back to Christ. • Sing it: choose a worship song that reflects your experience and let those lyrics ring out—at home, in the car, or with your church family. • Serve it: meet a practical need, then humbly explain, “I’m doing this because Jesus did so much for me.” (cf. Mark 10:45) • Celebrate it: mark answered prayer or a milestone with friends or family, recounting God’s specific interventions. • Record it: keep a journal of His works; reading it aloud later strengthens faith—yours and others’. Let Your Life Echo the Words • Integrity at work, kindness in traffic, patience with children—these visible choices echo Luke 8:39: “Return home and describe all the great things God has done for you.” • Generous giving and cheerful hospitality become living billboards of the gospel (2 Corinthians 9:13). A Quick Blueprint for Today 1. Recall one concrete act of God’s goodness from the past week. 2. Attach a verse that anchors that act in His character (e.g., Lamentations 3:22-23 for morning mercies). 3. Choose one avenue above—conversation, text, post, song, service. 4. Share briefly, giving God the credit, keeping the spotlight on Him. As Psalm 66:16 urges, step forward today and declare—simply, joyfully, sincerely—what He has done for your soul. |
