Psalm 35

Psalm 35:18
I will give You thanks in the great congregation;
I will praise You among a mighty throng.
This man is not like me.  In a group, I prefer to keep quiet.  I don't want to bring attention to myself.  Even if I have something to say, I prefer not to jump in, wait to see if someone else had the same thought.  But David here is not like that.  He is going to stand and make the whole congregation know what God has done for him.

And he is right to do so.  God has done something significant, and he is giving credit where credit is due.  He has been delivered not by his own work, but through God's intervention.  Even in the places where I know God has directly come in, It tend not to say much about it.  David does the exact opposite.  I need to learn to be more like David, and announce when God has done something for me.
