Praise waiteth for thee, O God, m Zion; O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalms 65:1-2. Come and see the works of God. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. Psalms 66:5-12.
How many quiet psalms of praise ascend to God from the hearts of those who trust in Him and call upon Him in their need! They know how readily, gloriously and wonderfully He helps. They can testify to it, as the psalmist, and invite men, saying, ’’Come and see the wonderful works of God toward the children of men. He brings us uninjured through fire and water; He causes men to ride over our heads, but He sustains us nevertheless, yea, He even at the same time refreshes us. " Truly, he who has the Lord with him, and calls upon Him, feels much refreshment even in the heat of affliction. Wherefore the whole world, all flesh, cries out to the Lord in need. Men’s misery drives them to Him who alone can deliver them, and of whom they would feel no need if it were not for their distress. What would He not do for them if they came to Him, not driven by necessity, but by love and yearning! How He would refresh them! He calls all who labor and are heavy laden, that He may refresh them. May this word quicken our faith and our trust in Him, that we never doubt His willingness and ability to help! He will lead us through all difficulties.
The God that rules on high.
Thai all the earth surveys,
That rides upon the stormy sky.
And calms the roaring seas:
This awful God is ours,
Our Father and our Love:
He will send down His heavenly powers
To carry us above.
