"Help, Lord!"


Thinking of kings and the eloquence with which you imagine they speak, I am drawn to Spurgeon’s reminder for this morning.  King David “mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication:  Help, Lord.”  Psalm 12:1  How's that for "eloquence"?
I’m reminded of King Jehoshaphat in a difficult battle, short prayer to the point,  “We do not know what to do; our eyes are on You!”  And then remembering back a long time ago, a girl in her early twenties, living in sin and realizing her need: “Help, Lord!”  Dependence on God is a blessing with promise.   Kings feeling overwhelmed with enemies or poor young people living broken lives… all are needy and all by grace are brought to the place where: “In Him our help is found! Let us not be slack to cry to Him.”
