Your Testimony Matters
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon emphasize that this verse is a powerful model for personal testimony. David isn't just recounting history; he's publicly praising God for a specific answer to prayer. Believers are encouraged to do the same—to share their own stories of seeking the Lord and being delivered. This personal proof of a prayer-hearing God can encourage fellow believers and witness to skeptics.
