Psalm 68:26 at a Glance

“Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD, O you who are from the fountain of Israel.”

What It Means to “Bless God”

- To “speak well of” Him—publicly declare His greatness (Psalm 34:1)

- To respond with grateful obedience (John 14:15)

- To give God the credit for every good gift (James 1:17)

Why the “Great Congregation” Matters

- God designed worship to be corporate, not solitary only (Hebrews 10:24-25)

- Public praise strengthens and unifies believers (Colossians 3:16)

- Outsiders hear the gospel when the church magnifies God together (1 Peter 2:9-10)

Practical Ways to Bless God When Gathered

• Sing truth-filled, Bible-saturated songs (Ephesians 5:19-20)

• Read Scripture aloud with joy and conviction (1 Timothy 4:13)

• Share testimonies of God’s faithfulness (Psalm 22:22)

• Engage attentively with preaching, ready to obey (James 1:22)

• Pray congregationally—agreeing “Amen” from the heart (Acts 4:24-31)

• Give generously as worship, not duty (2 Corinthians 9:7)

• Serve in visible and unseen roles—greeting, teaching, cleaning (1 Peter 4:10-11)

Blessing God Beyond Sunday

1. Speak well of Him in everyday conversations; shift from small talk to testimony (Malachi 3:16).

2. Weave worship music into commutes and chores, training the heart toward thankfulness (Psalm 92:1-2).

3. Keep short accounts with sin; repentance readies lips for praise (Psalm 32:5).

4. Turn daily tasks into offerings—“whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

5. Invite friends, co-workers, and neighbors to join gatherings where God is blessed (Luke 14:23).

6. Encourage one another throughout the week via calls, texts, notes—stirring up praise before next assembly (Hebrews 3:13).

7. Record answered prayers and share them publicly the next time the church meets (Psalm 40:9-10).

Living the Verse Today

• View every gathering—large or small—as a stage to spotlight God’s character.

• Expect God to use your voice, story, and service to multiply praise.

• Remember: the more intentionally you honor Him privately, the more naturally you’ll bless Him in the great congregation.
