Psalm 144

It took just a couple of minutes to read this psalm. David's introduction was very intreging to me. David realized that it was God who prepared him for the battles he faced against the Philistines and other enemies that he conquored. God build David's courage during those loney nights with the sheep, and God's lessons allowed him to face a bear and a lion before he met Goliath. David also had the courage to defeat his physical desires; but he surrendered that courage when he saw Uriah's wife.  God is training us to do battle with our hands as well: folding them in prayer, raising them in praise, touching others in ministry.
