The Defense of Saints
Psalm 54:2 [show/hide]Psalm 54:2
[2]O God, hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
Hear my prayer; O God; give ear to the words of my mouth
This has ever been the defense of saints. As long as God has an open ear we cannot be shut up in trouble. All other weapons may be useless, but all-prayer is evermore available.
No enemy can spike this gun. Vocal prayer helps the suppliant, and we keep our minds more fully awake when we can use our tongues as well as our hearts.
But what is prayer if God hear not?
It is all one whether we babble nonsense or plead arguments if our God grant us not a hearing.
When his case had become dangerous, David could not afford to pray out of mere custom, he must succeed in his pleadings, or become the prey of his adversary. – C.H. Spurgeon.
“No enemy can spike this gun.” And yet how constantly the great enemy of our souls will attempt to. But let the devil do his worst we can still pray if we will.
Have you been tempted to give up praying? If so begin to pray more earnestly than ever. If this gun is spiked it will be by our own decision not to pray more than by anything else.
