Come and Hear What God Has Done (4 of 12)
Series: The Great Invitations of the Bible

Psalm 66:16-20
If ever there was a time when we needed to be sure that God is listening, it's today. It goes without saying that we should want to know this all the time but these are certainly some trying times in which we're living. We need to hear from God and the only way to know we will is to be sure He's hearing from us. That is, we need to pray and pray effectively.
We pray for all sorts of reasons. However, all too often we neglect the discipline of prayer until we sense that we really need for God to get involved. When we get desperate we suddenly sense that prayer is one of our prime priorities. If nothing else, difficult times will teach us that. During these days of isolation we can rely upon ourselves or we can pray and trust the God who has saved us. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me.
Psalm 66:16-20
In Psalm 66 David invited his readers to come and hear what God had done for his soul after he prayed. The inference is obvious that when we pray God will do for us what He did for David.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. 19 But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!
Several simple thoughts on this great invitation of the Bible.
THE PRESCRIPTION OF AN EFFECTIVE PRAYER LIFE
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
The inference in these verses is clear. It is that David feared God. That is, he stood in awe of God and worshipped Him. David's invitation to ''come and hear'' was to all those who also feared God. We have to ask ourselves, ''Why didn't David invite everyone?'' It was bec ...
