Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 88:13
"But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee."
"Prevent thee" what does that mean I wonder? The footnote says: "Heb come before Thy face". I would have never guessed that. As I looked up the definition of "prevent" it does have an archaic meaning: to go or arrive before. I would have thought prevent meant to stop in some way.. I wouldn't want to stop the Lord from doing anything for me. Instead it means as I pray I come before His face. It does bring up a very good point to search the meaning of words and use the footnotes for a clearer understanding of the scriptures.
