Full Reliance On GOD
Psalm 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
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 want? What! Did you
forget this? ~Charles Spurgeon~
