How can we encourage others to "put their trust in the LORD"? A Song That Sparks Faith "He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD." (Psalm 40:3) Seeing God’s Work Leads to Trust • God’s deliverance becomes visible proof of His goodness • Praise serves as public testimony, magnifying His deeds • Reverence follows as observers recognize His power • Trust grows when people realize the same God will help them Practical Ways to Encourage Others to Put Their Trust in the LORD • Live transparently, allowing God’s rescues to show • Keep fresh praise on your lips, speaking of His faithfulness daily • Share clear testimonies of answered prayer, provision, and guidance • Model genuine awe for God rather than casual religion • Anchor counsel in Scripture, opening the Bible in conversation • Serve sacrificially, reflecting Christ’s character in practical help • Worship wholeheartedly, singing joyfully to reinforce truth • Persevere through trials with visible hope, proving faith holds under pressure • Pray privately and with others, inviting the Spirit to draw hearts • Affirm each small step of obedience as evidence God can be trusted Supporting Scriptures • Matthew 5:16 — "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." • Psalm 34:8 — "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" • Romans 10:17 — "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." • 1 Peter 3:15 — "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that is in you, but do this with gentleness and respect." • Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Living Out the Lesson Every fresh mercy from God is an invitation to sing a new song, live a visible witness, and help others discover the solid ground of trusting the LORD. Continual testimony, reverent living, consistent Scripture sharing, and practical love create an environment where faith flourishes and many will see, fear, and put their trust in Him. |
