Full Reliance on God
He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper.
~ Psalm 72:12
GOD HEARS OUR CRIES FOR HELP, AND SEND A HELPER, TO FEED & CLOTHE US. AS A CHILD OF GOD, IT IS OUR DUTY TO HEAR OUR FATHER, & DO HIS WORK THAT HE HAS FOR US. |
"Let the needy reader take to crying at once, for this will be his wisdom. Do not cry in the ears of friends, the nearest way is to go straight to God, and let your cry come up before Him. Straight forward makes the best runner: run to the Lord, and not to secondary causes.
Even for temporal mercies you may wait upon God, for He cares 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.
WHEN WE CRY OUT TO GOD THE FATHER FOR SPIRITUAL HELP, HE REACHES DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND PICKS US UP & FEEDS US HIS LIVING MANNA. |
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
O LORD, HEAR CHILDREN'S CRY FOR HELP. WE NEED YOU O LORD. WE NEED YOUR LIVING MANNA DAILY SO THAT WE CAN STAY STRONG IN YOU O LORD. WE NEED YOUR RESOURCES SO THAT WE CAN HELP THE POOR AND NEEDY. WE NEED YOUR HELP WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN LIKE A VIPER HUNTING ITS PREY. LORD SOMETIMES WE FALL TO FALSE HOPES AND FALSE PROMISES BECAUSE WE ARE MADE UP OF FLESH, SPIRIT, AND SOULMAN. SOMETIMES LORD IT IS OUR SOULMAN AND FLESH THAT REAR UP AND GET US TO FALL, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LISTENING TO OUR SPIRITS TELLING US THAT IT IS UNPLEASING TO YOU O LORD. HELP US TO HEAR AND OBEY OUR SPIRIT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT TELLS OUR SPIRIT THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WRONG. PLEASE HELP US TO GROW STRONGER IN THE SPIRIT SO THAT WE ARE AS ONE WITH YOU O LORD. THIS WE ASK IN JESUS CHRIST' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN.
