For he shall deliver the needy when
he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. (Psalm 72:12)
The needy cries; what else can he do? His cry is heard of
God; what else need he do? Let the needy reader take to crying at once, for
this will be his wisdom. Do not cry in the ears of friends, for even if they
can help you it is only because the Lord enables them. The nearest way is to go
straight to God and let your cry come up before Him. Straightforward makes the
best runner: run to the Lord and not to secondary causes.
"Alas!" you cry, "I have no friend or
helper." So much the better; you can rely upon God in both capacities-as
without supplies and without helpers. Make your double need your double plea.
Even for temporal mercies you may wait upon God, for He careth for His children
in these temporary concerns. As for spiritual necessities, which are the
heaviest of all, the Lord will hear your cry and will deliver you and supply
you.
O poor friend, try your rich God. O helpless one, lean on
His help. He has never failed me, and I am sure He will never fail you. Come as
a beggar, and God will not refuse you help. Come with no plea but His grace.
Jesus is King; will He let you perish of wants What! Did you forget this?
