15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. He will need to pray, he will be led to pray aright, and the answer
will surely come. Saints are first called of God, and then they call upon
God; such calls as theirs always obtain answers. Not without prayer will the
blessing come to the most favored, but by means of prayer they will receive all
good things. I will be with him in trouble, or, “I am with him in trouble.” Heirs of heaven are conscious of a special divine presence in times of
severe trial. God is always near in sympathy and in power to help his tried
ones. I will deliver him, and honor him. The man honors God, and God
honors him. Believers are not delivered or preserved in a way which lowers
them, and makes them feel themselves degraded; far from it, the Lord’s
salvation bestows honor upon those it delivers. God first gives us conquering
grace, and then rewards us for it.
