Why Do We Worship?نموونە

Life has a way of making us feel trapped—cornered by fear, caught in anxiety, or tangled in grief. That’s why Psalm 124 is such an encouragement. It reminds us that even when the attack was real, God’s rescue was stronger.

The psalmist doesn’t pretend the threat didn’t exist. He paints the picture honestly—teeth, nets, hunters, danger. But then he declares: “Blessed be the Lord… we have escaped.”

That’s what worship does. It shifts your eyes from the danger you feared to the Deliverer who came through.

Maybe today, you’re not out of the trap yet—but you’re still breathing. You’re still here. And that means your story isn’t over.

Worship is how we respond in faith, even when our situation hasn’t fully changed yet.
It’s how we say, “God, You’ve done it before… and I believe You’ll do it again.”

What threat have you escaped—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—that you need to stop and thank God for today?

Prayer:
God, You know the dangers that nearly overtook me—some I saw, and some I didn’t. Thank You for being my Deliverer. Help me to worship You today, not out of fear, but with confidence in Your faithfulness.
