PSALM 74:12-17 Proclaim the mighty works of God

When we read aloud or sing Psalm 74:12-17 , we are telling
( all who can hear ) and proclaiming the mighty works of God.

The psalmist instructs us to do this in Psalm 66:3 NASB
Say to God, " How awesome are Your works !

In Psalm 71  (Ps 70 in the SAAR translation)
The psalmist asks for time...
v18....until I proclaim Your arm to every coming generation
          Yes Your mighty deeds and Your righteousness.
v19    O God I proclaim the magnificent things You did
          Even to the highest heaven;

In Psalm 145:4-5-6 we find prophecy that this will happen;
4   One generation will commend your works to another,
            they will tell of your mighty acts.
5   They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,
            and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6   They will tell of the power of your awesome works,
            and I will proclaim your great deeds.

Revelation 15:3 indicates that those who proclaim the mighty works of God
(in spirit and truth) are one in eternity with Moses, the Lamb
and the angels of God !!
Revelation 15:3 KJV.....on the sea of glass, having harps of God
3   And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God,
     and the song of the Lamb, saying
     Great and marvellous are your works,
     Lord God Almighty, just and true are thy ways.

Psalm 74:12-17 NASB
12   Yet God is my king from old,
       Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth
13   You divided the sea by Your strength;
       You  broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
14   You crushed the heads of the Leviathan;
       You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15   You broke open spring and torrents;
       You dried up ever flowing streams.
16   Yours is the day. Yours is the night;
       You have prepared the light and the sun.
17   You have established all the boundaries of the earth;
       You have made summer and winter.

We might produce our own 12 line proclamation of the mighty works of God.
Our personal list of God,s works might include what God has done for us
in New Testament times and in our own experience.
It is valuable to listen to what God has done for others, because
what He has done for others He can do for you.
What you share may reach people in distant places and distant times !
