How does Psalm 124:6 inspire gratitude for God's protection in your life? Psalm 124:6 at a glance “Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey for their teeth.” A vivid picture of peril and rescue - The verse paints us inches from destruction—helpless before predator-teeth—when God steps in. - His intervention is decisive; the enemy never gets the bite he expected. Why this stirs daily gratitude - Every threat I’ve escaped—seen or unseen—was God saying, “Not today.” - My safety is not chance; it is covenant care, reminding me I’m loved, not lucky. - Remembering deliverance breeds humility and replaces fear with worship. Ways to keep gratitude alive • Re-read Psalm 124:6 each morning, naming one recent “near miss” God turned into safety. • Maintain a “rescue list”: car accidents avoided, sicknesses healed, temptations resisted. • Tell those stories; testimony multiplies thanksgiving and fortifies others’ faith. • Convert anxious thoughts into praise: “Lord, thank You—I am not prey today.” Echoes of the same protection - Lamentations 3:22 – “Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.” - Psalm 91:3 – “Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly plague.” - 2 Timothy 4:17 – “But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me… and I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.” - Proverbs 18:10 – “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” Living under the shield The God who once refused to hand us over still guards every step. Recognizing that truth turns ordinary moments into occasions for thanks, emboldens service, and fills each day with settled peace. |
