How can sharing God's wonders strengthen our faith community? Psalm 26:7 at the Center “to raise my voice in thanksgiving and to tell of all Your wondrous works.” What It Means to “Tell of His Wondrous Works” • Declaring specific acts God has done—creation, redemption, answered prayer, daily providence. • Speaking them aloud in worship, conversation, the home, the marketplace. • Recounting them with gratitude, not mere information. How Sharing Strengthens the Faith Family • Builds Unity – We rally around a shared story of God’s faithfulness (Ephesians 4:4–6). • Fuels Encouragement – Hearing others’ victories reminds every heart that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). • Sparks Worship – Testimony turns eyes from problems to the Lord’s power (Psalm 34:3). • Instructs the Next Generation – “One generation will commend Your works to the next” (Psalm 145:4). • Arms Us for Spiritual Battle – “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11). • Deepens Mutual Love – Rejoicing over God’s deeds together cultivates genuine fellowship (Romans 12:15). Supporting Scriptural Snapshots • Malachi 3:16—Those who feared the LORD “spoke with one another,” and He listened. • Acts 14:27—Paul and Barnabas gathered the church to report “all that God had done.” • 1 Samuel 7:12—Samuel set up Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.” • Hebrews 10:24–25—Stir one another up and meet together. Practical Ways to Share God’s Wonders • Sunday services—brief testimonies woven into worship. • Small groups—set aside a few minutes for answers to prayer each meeting. • Family tables—ask, “Where did we see God at work today?” • Milestone markers—write dates and details in a visible “God’s deeds” journal or wall. • Digital platforms—short video or written stories that spotlight the Lord, not self. • Acts of service—tell the story behind the kindness while meeting needs. Overcoming Common Hesitations • “My story is too small.” – No work of God is insignificant; Jesus fed thousands beginning with five loaves. • “I might sound prideful.” – Keep the focus on the Lord’s initiative and grace (Psalm 115:1). • “What if people doubt?” – Truth stands. Speak plainly and let Scripture anchor the account (Psalm 119:160). The Ongoing Impact When a congregation habitually voices God’s wonders, faith grows contagious, resilience rises, and outsiders witness a living God among us (Acts 2:47). The simple obedience of Psalm 26:7 therefore becomes a powerful, community-shaping rhythm. |
