Come and Hear My Story

Daily Devotional – Friday, September 12, 2025
Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.
Psalms 66:16 (NKJV)

At a youth gathering, a shy teen shared how God gave her peace during her parents’ divorce. The room grew quiet, and by the end, a few other teens were wiping away tears. Some even opened up about their personal struggles. Her simple testimony lit a spark of hope.

Your Testimony Matters

In today’s key text, the psalmist does not just praise God in a general sense. He makes it personal. The psalm as a whole celebrates God’s mighty works for Israel, but here the psalmist zooms in on his own life. This testimony is about a God who is still active, still saving, and still carrying people through difficult seasons.

Sometimes we think testimonies have to be dramatic, like a dramatic miracle or life-changing event. Often, though, it is the small, honest stories that touch hearts the most: the strength you felt when you didn’t think you could keep going, the comfort you experienced in grief, and the quiet ways God answered your prayers.

Come and Hear My Story

Your story is powerful because it is yours and because it points back to Him. Sharing your testimony does not just encourage others; it strengthens your own faith. Speaking it out reminds you of God’s faithfulness and helps you see His fingerprints on your life.

Who needs to hear your story today? Maybe it is a friend who feels like giving up, a small group that needs encouragement, or even your social media followers. Take a step of faith and share one way God has shown up for you. You never know whose heart will be touched.

Prayer
God, thank You for all the ways You have been faithful in my life. Help me to boldly share my story so others can see Your goodness and be encouraged.
