From Prayer to Praise

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. From prayer to praise. Blessed be the LORD, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, and with my song will I praise Him.

Psalm twenty eight, six through seven. The story of David facing fears of surrounding enemies and impending death seems to be on repeat in the Psalms. But before we allow it to become redundant, consider your own life. How often do you face trials that strain your heart with fear, worry, and doubt? Perhaps David's life isn't too far from your own, just with fewer spears and battle cries.

In today's psalm, David spends the first portion crying out to the Lord for help. But for our encouragement and edification, pay special attention to the close of this installment of Scripture. David goes from heart-wrenching prayer to heartfelt praise. Consider practicing pray throughout your daily prayer pattern. Here are several reasons why you should bless the Lord.

He hears your prayers. He is your strength. He is your shield. He is trustworthy. He is your helper.

He gives you reason to rejoice, and He is worthy of praise and worship. Join your heart today with the psalmist. Rejoice greatly and sing praises to the Lord.
