Precedents Establish Principles: Psalm 141:2 'Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, the lifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice.' The Psalms were birthed out of circumstances that David was going through. David had a desire and hunger for the presence of God, and he discovered the mystery of worship - that prayer counted as incense is a copy of the real incense being lifted up by the priests. Things take place in worship that we can't understand. It releases a dynamic that can't be released any other way.
