How does recognizing God's "awesome deeds" affect your faith journey? Anchor Verse “They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.” Psalm 145:6 What “Awesome Deeds” Look Like • Creation spoken into existence (Genesis 1) • Red Sea split for Israel (Exodus 14:21-22) • Walls of Jericho falling at a shout (Joshua 6:20) • Sins paid at the cross and the tomb left empty (Matthew 28:5-6) • Spirit poured out in power at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) Seeing the Scale of His Power • Every miracle—past or present—confirms that the Lord alone controls nature, nations, and hearts. • Because His deeds are rooted in covenant love, each act carries a personal invitation to trust Him (Psalm 66:5). • Remembered wonders remind us that nothing in today’s newsfeed is outside His sovereignty (Psalm 115:3). How Recognition Transforms Your Faith Journey 1. Steadier Confidence – The same God who “performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw” (Deuteronomy 10:21) still acts today. – Past faithfulness becomes evidence for future trust (2 Corinthians 1:10). 2. Courageous Witness – “They will proclaim… I will declare.” Awe naturally turns private praise into public testimony. – Peter could say, “We did not follow cleverly devised myths… we were eyewitnesses of His majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). You share in that eyewitness line when you recount God’s work in your life. 3. Vibrant Worship – Awe shifts worship from routine to reverent joy (Psalm 33:8-9). – Declaring His greatness moves focus off self-achievement and onto God’s supremacy. 4. Holy Expectation – Recognizing past wonders breeds anticipation for future ones (Habakkuk 3:2). – Expectation fuels prayer that asks big because God has already done the impossible (Ephesians 3:20). Practical Ways to Keep Awe Alive • Keep a journal of answered prayers and providential moments; revisit it when doubt creeps in. • Read accounts of God’s mighty acts aloud with family or friends—faith is “caught” by hearing (Romans 10:17). • Memorize key “awesome deeds” verses (Psalm 66:3; Psalm 145:6; Luke 1:49) to anchor thoughts during stressful situations. • Share weekly testimonies—over coffee, in small group, on social media—to turn recognition into proclamation. Living Out Psalm 145:6 Today • Begin each morning recalling one biblical and one personal example of His power. • Throughout the day, consciously link challenges to His proven track record: “If He split seas, He can handle this deadline.” • End each evening by declaring aloud at least one attribute of His greatness you witnessed that day. Recognizing God’s awesome deeds moves faith from theory to lived reality, anchoring your heart in the unshakable greatness of the Lord who still works wonders. |
