Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
Full Reliance on God
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'
