How does sharing work boost our faith?
In what ways can sharing "all Your works" strengthen our faith community?

The verse under the lens

Psalm 73:28 – “But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.”


Setting the context

Psalm 73 is Asaph’s journey from confusion to confidence in God’s justice.

• His resolution is to “draw near” and then “proclaim,” linking relationship with God to testimony about God.

• The phrase “all Your works” covers everything God has done—creation, covenant, redemption, daily providence, personal deliverances.


Why sharing God’s works matters

• Scripture is accurate and literal; every recorded work of God actually happened and reveals His character (Psalm 145:5–6).

• Telling these works obeys God’s command to “make known His deeds among the peoples” (Psalm 105:1–2).

• Each testimony is a reminder that the same God who acted then is acting now (Malachi 3:6).


How sharing strengthens our faith community

• Deepens worship – Shared stories turn abstract doctrine into concrete praise (Psalm 145:10–12).

• Builds collective faith – Hearing fresh evidence of God’s power bolsters confidence for current challenges (Romans 10:17).

• Spurs mutual encouragement – “Let us consider how to spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24–25).

• Fosters intergenerational discipleship – One generation commends His works to the next (Psalm 145:4; Deuteronomy 6:6–7).

• Cultivates gratitude and humility – Recognizing God’s hand in every victory keeps pride at bay (James 1:17).

• Equips for evangelism – Personal testimonies make the gospel tangible to outsiders (1 Peter 3:15).

• Unites diverse believers – Different backgrounds, one Lord, one shared narrative of grace (Ephesians 4:4–6).

• Guards against forgetfulness – Rehearsing God’s deeds protects from spiritual drift (Psalm 103:2).

• Strengthens perseverance – Past deliverances fuel endurance in present trials (2 Corinthians 1:10).


Practical ways to proclaim all His works

• Integrate testimonies into small-group gatherings.

• Begin worship services with brief reports of answered prayer.

• Create a shared journal or online board where members post God-stories.

• Encourage parents to recount biblical and personal stories at family meals.

• Use social media intentionally: Scripture verse + current example of God’s faithfulness.

• Pair younger believers with older saints for coffee and testimony exchange (2 Timothy 2:2).

• Memorize and recite key passages together—e.g., Psalm 111—to keep His works on our lips.

• Celebrate anniversaries of significant church milestones, retelling how God provided.


Living it this week

• Reflect daily on one work of God in Scripture and one in your own life.

• Share both with at least one person face-to-face.

• Note the effect: increased joy, deeper connection, fresh expectancy for what God will do next.
