2. I will cry. He is quite safe, but yet
he prays, for faith is never dumb. We pray because we believe. We exercise by
faith the spirit of adoption whereby we cry. He says not “I do cry” or “I have cried,” but I will cry,
and indeed this resolution may stand with all of us until we pass through the
gates of pearl; for while we are here below we shall still need to cry. Unto God most high. Prayers are for God only; the greatness and sublimity of his
person and character suggest and encourage prayer: however high our enemies,
our heavenly Friend is higher, for he is most high and can readily send
the succor which we need. Unto God that performeth all things for me. He
has cogent reason for praying, for he sees God performing. The believer waits
and God works. The Lord has undertaken for us, and he will not draw back. Our
translators have very properly inserted the words all things, for there
is a blank in the Hebrew, as if you might write therein that the Lord would
finish anything and everything which he has begun. Past mercies are guarantees
for the future, and admirable reasons for continuing to cry unto him.
