How can we practically "praise" God for His deliverance in our lives? Grounding Passage – Psalm 34 : 1-4 “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice. Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.” Key Observations from the Text • Praise is continual (“at all times”). • Praise is verbal and public (“on my lips,” “let the oppressed hear”). • Praise is communal (“with me… together”). • Praise flows from personal deliverance (“He delivered me”). Practical Ways to Praise God for His Deliverance Speak It • Tell your rescue story in everyday conversation (Psalm 107 : 2). • Use short declarations like “The LORD has saved me!” (Luke 17 : 15-16). Sing It • Include songs of deliverance in personal worship (Exodus 15 : 2; Psalm 40 : 3). • Compile a playlist that centers on salvation themes. Share It • Post testimonies and verses online. • Write letters or texts to encourage someone facing similar trials (2 Corinthians 1 : 4). Serve Him • Volunteer where your experience can bless others. • Offer practical help that mirrors the way He helped you. Steward Resources • Give financially as a tangible thank-you (Psalm 116 : 12-14). • Dedicate skills or possessions to kingdom work. Live Obediently • Turn from the sin He freed you from (John 8 : 36). • Present your life as a living sacrifice every day (Romans 12 : 1). Practice Continual Gratitude • Keep a “deliverance journal” of daily mercies (Lamentations 3 : 22-23). • Begin and end the day with spoken thanks (1 Thessalonians 5 : 16-18). Gather with Believers • Arrive ready to testify in corporate worship (Psalm 26 : 12). • Join wholeheartedly in congregational singing (Hebrews 2 : 12). Everyday Scenarios Morning commute – speak Psalm 34 aloud. Mealtime – recount a recent rescue before eating. Payday – set aside a “deliverance offering” for missions. Coffee with a friend – share one fresh example of His help. Further Scriptural Encouragement Psalm 40 : 1-3 • Psalm 107 : 1-2 • Isaiah 12 : 2-5 • Acts 16 : 25-34 • Hebrews 13 : 15 |
