Why is it important to "tell of all His wonders" to others? Verse of Focus Psalm 105:2 “Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.” What It Means to “Tell of All His Wonders” • Recounting specific acts of God recorded in Scripture—creation, the flood, the Exodus, the resurrection. • Sharing personal testimonies of answered prayer, provision, healing, guidance. • Publicly declaring God’s character—His holiness, love, power, faithfulness—shown through those deeds. • Doing it verbally, in writing, through song, art, or everyday conversations. God’s Purposes Served When We Speak • He is glorified. “Declare His glory among the nations…” (Psalm 96:3). Our praise puts His greatness on display. • Obedience is fulfilled. The command in Psalm 105:2 is an imperative, echoed in Psalm 9:1 and Luke 8:39. • Future generations learn the truth. “One generation will declare Your works to the next” (Psalm 145:4; cf. Deuteronomy 6:6-9). • Evangelism advances. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Blessings Others Receive • Hope in trials—if God delivered you, He can deliver them (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). • Clear evidence of the gospel’s power—moving truth from abstract to personal (Acts 4:20). • Invitation to salvation—testimonies often open hearts where arguments fail (John 4:39). • Strengthened corporate worship—shared stories fuel shared praise (Psalm 107:22). Blessings We Receive When We Testify • Increased gratitude—rehearsing God’s acts keeps our hearts warm toward Him (Psalm 103:2). • Deeper faith—remembered victories bolster confidence for new battles (1 Samuel 17:37). • Spiritual protection—“They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11). • Readiness to give a reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15), transforming everyday moments into ministry opportunities. How to Put It into Practice Daily • Keep a running list of answered prayers and passages that show God’s wonders; review it often. • Weave brief God-stories into normal conversations rather than reserving them for formal settings. • Use social media to highlight Scripture and personal testimonies, pointing every post back to Christ. • Sing songs—alone or with others—that recount His mighty acts (Ephesians 5:19). • Include children: retell Bible narratives at meals, bedtime, and special occasions. • When God acts, speak promptly; fresh gratitude has contagious power. Telling of all His wonders magnifies the Lord, strengthens His people, and invites the lost to trust the same faithful God who still works wonders today. |
