How can we honor God for His deliverance, as mentioned in Psalm 91:15? Setting the Scene “ When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.” (Psalm 91:15) The Lord pledges not only rescue but also honor for those who trust Him. Our privilege is to respond by honoring Him in return—living testimonies of gratitude and faithfulness. Honoring God for His Deliverance—Five Practical Responses 1. Proclaim His Deliverance Publicly • “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” (Psalm 107:2) • Share your story—conversations, social media, small-group gatherings. A spoken testimony turns private rescue into corporate praise. 2. Offer Continual Thanksgiving and Worship • “He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me.” (Psalm 50:23) • “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.” (Hebrews 13:15) • Sing, journal, or simply speak thanks aloud. Gratitude keeps the spotlight on God rather than on the crisis you escaped. 3. Walk in Loving Obedience • “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” (John 14:15) • “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—your spiritual service of worship.” (Romans 12:1) • Obedience says, “Lord, Your rescue wasn’t wasted; my life is Yours.” Every choice to obey is a visible “thank You.” 4. Serve Others with the Comfort You Received • “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and what mercy He has shown you.” (Mark 5:19) • “Serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13) • Channel the mercy you experienced into practical help—meals, mentorship, listening ears—so others taste God’s deliverance through you. 5. Persevere in Dependent Faith • “Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23) • Keep calling on Him, just as Psalm 91:15 models. Fresh crises become fresh canvases to honor His ongoing faithfulness. Putting It into Practice This Week • Tell one person exactly how God delivered you. • Start or end each day with three spoken “thank-Yous” for specific mercies. • Identify one area of lingering disobedience; replace it with a concrete act of obedience today. • Look for someone facing the trial God brought you through—encourage, pray, share resources. • Memorize Psalm 91:15 and recite it whenever fear or trouble surfaces, reaffirming trust in His promised rescue. Closing Encouragement Our Deliverer not only answers when we call but dignifies us with His own honor. Every time we respond with praise, obedience, service, and steadfast faith, we give that honor back to Him—turning personal rescue into enduring glory for the One who saved us. |
