Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
He Always Listens
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will
receive my prayer. (Psalm 6:9)
The
experience here recorded is mine. I can set to my seal that God is true. In
very wonderful ways He has answered the prayers of His servant many and many a
time. Yes, and He is hearing my present supplication, and He is not turning
away His ear from me. Blessed be His holy name!
What
then? Why, for certain the promise which lies sleeping in the psalmist's
believing confidence is also mine. Let me grasp it by the hand of faith:
"The Lord will receive my prayer." He will accept it, think of it,
and grant it in the way and time which His loving wisdom judges to be best. I
bring my poor prayer in my hand to the great King, and He gives me audience and
graciously receives my petition. My enemies will not listen to me, but my Lord
will. They ridicule my tearful prayers, but my Lord does not; He receives my
prayer into His ear and His heart.
What a
reception this is for a poor sinner! We receive Jesus, and then the Lord
receives us and our prayers for His Son's sake. Blessed be that dear name which
franks our prayers so that they freely pass even within the golden gates. Lord,
teach me to pray, since Thou hearest my prayers.
