4. I sought the Lord, and he heard me. It must
have been in a very confused manner that David prayed, and there must have been
much of self-sufficiency in his prayer, or he would not have resorted to
methods of such dubious morality as pretending to be mad and behaving as a
lunatic; yet his poor limping prayer had an acceptance and brought him succor;
the more reason for then celebrating the abounding mercy of the Lord. We may
seek God even when we have sinned. If sin could blockade the mercy-seat it
would be all over with us, but the mercy is that there are gifts even for the
rebellious, and an advocate for men who sin. And delivered me from all myfears. God makes a perfect work of it. He clears away both our fears and
their causes, all of them without exception.
