How can we "speak of the glory" of God's kingdom in daily life? What Psalm 145:11 calls us to “They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom and tell of Your might.” The verse is a straightforward command and confidence: God’s people will actively talk about His royal splendor—everywhere, every day. Start by filling the heart • Read Psalm 145 aloud; let every attribute of the King settle in. • Memorize verse 11 so it rests on the tongue, ready for any moment (Psalm 119:11). • Pray before stepping into the day: “Lord, give me chances to verbalize Your greatness.” Let Scripture flavor ordinary conversation • Fold a verse into a greeting: “Morning! God’s mercies are new today—Lamentations 3:23.” • When a friend shares good news: “That reminds me of James 1:17—every good gift is from above.” • Facing bad news: “Jesus promised, ‘In Me you may have peace.’ (John 16:33).” Small, sincere references keep the King on people’s radar. Tell personal stories of the King’s might • Share answered prayers, big or small. • Recount protection, provision, or guidance you experienced this week. • Keep it humble: the focus stays on what God did, not on personal heroics (Psalm 96:3). Celebrate His kingdom values in public spaces • Praise integrity at work: “I love how honesty reflects God’s character.” • Highlight sacrificial service: “That looks like Matthew 20:28 in action.” • Applaud beauty in art or nature: “Creation declares His glory—Psalm 19:1.” Use everyday platforms • Text threads: drop a verse image or a quick testimony. • Social media: short posts that credit the Lord for successes. • Mealtimes: speak gratitude out loud before eating (1 Timothy 4:4-5). Encourage fellow believers • Send a midweek note: “Keep standing firm—1 Corinthians 15:58.” • Praise growth you see in them; it magnifies the King’s work (Philippians 1:3-6). • Sing or share worship music that exalts Christ (Colossians 3:16). Speak graciously to unbelievers • Avoid sermonizing; talk like a friend who knows a great King (1 Peter 3:15). • Explain how God’s reign offers hope for justice, healing, and purpose. • Point to the cross as the doorway into the kingdom (Colossians 1:13-14). Guard the tone of every word • No grumbling—Philippians 2:14-15 ties our witness to bright, blameless speech. • No empty talk—Ephesians 4:29 exhorts edifying words that give grace. • No boasting—Psalm 44:8: “In God we have boasted all day long.” Practical steps for today 1. Pick one kingdom attribute (faithfulness, mercy, power). 2. Note one personal example of that attribute this week. 3. Plan one setting (coffee break, phone call) to weave that story into conversation. 4. End the day thanking God for the opportunity and asking for more tomorrow. Result: a lifestyle of royal proclamation Following Psalm 145:11, our homes, offices, sidewalks, and screens become platforms where the King’s glory is naturally, repeatedly, and joyfully spoken. |
