19. But verily God hath heard me. The
answer to his prayer was a fresh assurance that his heart was sincere before
the Lord. See how sure the psalmist is that he has been heard; it is with him
no hope, surmise, or fancy, but he seals it with a verily. Facts are
blessed things when they reveal both God’s heart as loving, and our own heart
as sincere. He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. He gave his mind
to consider my cries, interpreted them, accepted them, and replied to them, and
therein proved his grace and also my uprightness of heart. Love of sin is a
killing sign, but those prayers which evidently live and prevail with God most
clearly arise from a heart which is free from dalliance with evil. See to it
that your inmost soul is rid of all alliance with iniquity, all toleration of
secret lust or hidden wrong.
