Whispers of His Power – APRIL 28
Ps. 3.4: I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill.
‘Feet accustomed to the road to God can find it in the dark’ wrote Dr Maclaren on Psalm 3.4. Our work is to teach others how to find ‘the road to God’, and how to know it so well that they will be able to find it in the dark’. Could there be a happier work than this?
Scholars tell us that the tenses of verse 4 express a habitual act and a constant result. I cried … He heard me. Is it not wonderful to know that it is always so? It is as if our Father had no one in all the world to care for but you, but me, but the one we are trying to help.
Truly His love passes knowledge!
oooOOOooo
