Every believer has a “but God” moment—a time when the storm should have swallowed you whole, but God stepped in.
That’s what Psalm 124 captures so powerfully. The psalmist doesn't just make a vague statement of gratitude—he draws Israel’s attention to a specific rescue and urges them to remember it together:
“Let Israel say…”
Repetition isn’t redundancy—it’s remembrance. In a world that moves fast and forgets even faster, worship helps us pause and remember. It pulls us out of spiritual amnesia and calls us to say:
“If the Lord hadn’t been on my side… I wouldn’t be here.”
So stop for a moment. Look back.
What has God delivered you from?
What storms didn’t drown you?
What threats didn’t win?
That’s not just memory—it’s fuel for worship.
What’s one specific moment in your life where you know, “If God hadn’t been with me, I wouldn’t have made it”?
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for all the times You stepped in when I didn’t even realize it. Help me never forget what You’ve brought me through. Make my worship a song of remembrance and gratitude.

About this Plan
If you approach worship from a consumer perspective—asking, “What do I get out of this?”—you will miss the true purpose of worship. Worship is not about personal preference, entertainment, or convenience; it’s about centering our hearts on God and giving Him the glory He deserves. When we reduce worship to what pleases us, we place ourselves at the center instead of God. True worship shifts the focus away from our wants and toward the worthiness of the One who created us, redeemed us, and reigns over us.
