How does acknowledging God's works strengthen our faith and witness? Anchoring Verse “Then everyone will fear, and they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what He has done.” – Psalm 64:9 The Power in Remembering God’s Deeds • When God acts in unmistakable ways, people “fear” – they revere Him. • That reverence turns immediately into proclamation: “they will proclaim the works of God.” • The verse closes with meditation: “ponder what He has done.” A cycle forms—reverence, testimony, reflection—that keeps faith vibrant. Faith Deepens When We See God’s Track Record • Scripture repeatedly calls us to rehearse His mighty acts: – Psalm 77:11-12: “I will remember the works of the LORD… and ponder Your mighty deeds.” – Exodus deliverance, Red Sea crossing, wilderness provision—literal events showing God’s reliability. • Every remembrance shouts, “He did it before; He can do it again,” pushing doubt aside. • Personal history joins biblical history. Catalog answered prayers, unexpected provisions, changed lives; each entry becomes another brick in a solid wall of trust. Witness Flows Naturally from Awe • Psalm 105:1-2: “Make known His deeds among the nations… tell of all His wonders.” • Acts 4:20: “For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.” • A heart thrilled by God’s works won’t stay silent. Testimony is not a duty to be forced; it is overflow. Practical Ways to Acknowledge His Works Today • Keep a journal of daily mercies; review it often. • Share fresh testimonies in family devotions, small groups, and everyday conversations. • Sing songs that recount biblical miracles and personal stories of deliverance. • Celebrate anniversaries of answered prayers; mark them like Israel’s memorial stones (Joshua 4). • Post Scripture and stories on social media, turning timelines into modern-day scrolls. • Speak the gospel naturally, citing what Jesus has literally done in history and in you (Luke 8:39). Result: Courageous, Contagious Faith Acknowledging God’s works turns abstract belief into concrete confidence. Reverence rises, testimony flows, listeners ponder, and the circle widens. Our faith stands taller, and our witness rings clearer—because He has acted, He is acting, and He will act again. |
