17. Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray. Often but none too often. Seasons of great need call for frequent
seasons of devotion. To begin, continue, and end the day with God is supreme
wisdom. Day and night the psalmist saw his enemies busy (verse 10), and therefore he would meet their activity by continuous prayer. And cry aloud. Some cry aloud who never say a word. It is the bell of the heart
that rings loudest in heaven. Some read it, “I will muse and murmur”; deep
heart-thoughts should be attended with inarticulate but vehement utterances of
grief. A father’s heart reads a child’s heart. And he shall hear my voice.
He speaks as if already he were answered. Have but a pleading heart and God
will have a plenteous hand.
