Singing A Prayer Of Praise

      “...and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.  49. For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.”        Psalms 18:48,49  NLT

     Sometimes, when we realize that God has brought us out of a difficult situation and given us a victory over our enemy, it’s hard not to express our thanks to Him somehow.  We want to exalt His sovereign power and give Him due praise just as Moses did.

Read:  Exodus 15:1-21   (14:27-31)
