September 18 Psalms 9:12 When he maketh inquisition
for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
The humble grateful soul, may have anything 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,
especially when answers are delay.
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 condemn 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 prayer; and He will get Himself a
glorious name by their sanctification, salvation, and glorification.
O believer, never harbour the thought that
thy God will forget thy petitions, He will only forget thy sins!
Friend of sinners, King of saints,Answer my minutest wants! Let my cries Thy throne assail,Entering now within the vail! Free my soul from guilt and shame.-- Lord, I ask in Jesus name.
James Smith
