As I have been studying the Scriptures on prayer, I came across this verse by Psalmist David. Even though the verse is short, it spoke volumes to me. David in his great distress cried out to God for help, but when he spoke, it was actually words of praise that came forth. Wow! I thought. If I was facing a life-and-death situation, would the cry in my heart turn to praise as soon as it reached my lips?
"For I cried out to Him for help,
praising Him as I spoke."
Psalm 66:17 (NIV)
God knows all and sees all. He knows our needs. Praising Him is obviously more effective than begging and pleading.
