Psalm 143

It took me about 3 minutes to read this psalm. David points out one of the attributes of God that distinguishes him from all the false dieties; he answers the request of his people. Idol worshippers pray to the false gods that they set in vain. There is no way that an inanimate object of stone or metal can respond to a personal request. But the living God of Israel; he's in a league all by himself. He can actually hear the words. It doesn't matter what language in which they're spoken because God understands all languages. God sees the attitudes and desires of each heart. It is to those request that are aligned with his will that God give his uniquely wonderful gift; an answer.
