SNS 082: The Sacredness of Asking for Help? Psalm 54

Can I just say, while reading this psalm, I was impressed with the sacredness of asking God for help? In the asking, which involves more than saying, “Hey God, I need this.”

It also involves acknowledging the answer and offering thanks and praise for it.

What’s the importance of knowing this? Nice question. But before getting into it, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat. 

But, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast.
