"He forgetteth not the cry of the humble." Psalms 9:12
THE humble grateful soul, may have any thing from the Lord; so great is His love to them, and delight in them. He cries to the Lord to be kept from every false way, from falling into sin, and that he may be devoted entirely to the Lord’s glory. He prays for his enemies, that they may be blessed, and for his friends, that they may be rewarded. His cry is constant, sincere, and hearty. But he is often tempted to think that because he is so unworthy, so insignificant, and so vile, God will not hear him, and especially when answers are delayed. But the cry of the humble cannot be forgotten. The Lord will not neglect or pass over such an one’s prayer without notice; He will not despise, or contemn their petitions; but He will regard, attend to, and answer them. His wisdom will shine forth in the time when, and the means by which He answers their prayers; and He will get Himself a glorious name by their santification, salvation, and glorification. O believer, never harbour the thought that thy God will forget thy petitions!
Friend of sinners, King of saints,
Answer my minutest wants;
Let my cries Thy throne assail,
Entering now within the veil;
Free my soul from guilt and shame,--
Lord, I ask in Jesus’ name.
