How can acknowledging God's works strengthen our faith and trust in Him? The Foundation: Psalm 92:5 “How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!” God’s Works on Display—Then and Now • Creation itself: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible attributes…have been clearly seen” (Romans 1:20). • Historical interventions: the flood (Genesis 7), the Exodus (Exodus 14), the conquest of Jericho (Joshua 6). • Daily providence: “You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing” (Psalm 145:16). • Redemption’s masterpiece: Christ’s death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). How Remembering His Works Strengthens Faith • Proof of His power—if He spoke galaxies into existence, nothing in my life is too hard (Jeremiah 32:17). • Evidence of His faithfulness—He kept every promise to Israel; He will keep every promise to me (Joshua 23:14). • Revelation of His character—His works show wisdom, love, justice, and mercy in action (Psalm 111:2-4). • Anchor against doubt—recounting past deliverance silences present fears (Psalm 77:11-12). • Fuel for worship—wonder leads naturally to adoration, which recalibrates the heart (Psalm 95:3-7). • Perspective for trials—seeing the larger tapestry of His deeds reminds me my struggle is part of a bigger story (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). Practical Habits for Daily Acknowledgment • Keep a “God’s works” journal—record answered prayers, providential meetings, unexpected provisions. • Read biblical narratives aloud—let the accounts of Scripture shape your imagination and memory. • Share testimonies—tell family and friends how the Lord has worked; testimony solidifies truth. • Memorize key verses—store reminders like Psalm 92:5, Psalm 19:1, and Psalm 111:2 in your heart. • Walk in nature—use creation as a living classroom for God’s glory (Psalm 19:1-2). • Celebrate milestones—mark anniversaries of God’s interventions with songs, meals, or gatherings (1 Chronicles 16:12). Stepping Forward in Trust Acknowledging God’s works shifts faith from theory to lived conviction. The same mighty hand that parted seas and rolled away stones is at work in every believer’s story today. Look back, marvel, and move ahead—confidence grows when His works stay fresh in mind and heart. |
