TEXT-I waited patiently for tha Lord!
tnd ho Inclined unto me. and heard tny
:ry. 1'nalmi 4tnL
Riding on the street car recently, I
rend the Fortieth Psulm two or three
:lmcs through, and
this, is what It
triugbt me. This
! psalm Is evidently
jn epitome of Da
vid's life, or pos
; tlbly a single
t chapter In his his-
tory which Is not
; yet concluded. In
either case, It Is a
;ood Illustration
of Christian expe
rience. It natural
ly divides into five
parts.
1. Regeneration.
Verses 1-3. David
not only prayed,
but be waited patiently for the answer.
Many people miss the answer because
Ihey cannot wait God's time, forgetting
that be has other people to attend to
besides them, and that ho has hin
drances In his work as well as they.
On one occasion Daniel prayed three
full works before there was any token
that God had even hrnrd Mm. Then
came a messenger from rtod who told
him that from the first day that be
, begun to pray, God had heard him, but
; Hint the "Prince of the kingdom of
' Persia (that Is the one who had charge
' of Satan's forces In Persia), bad with
: Ktood him one and twenty days," but
' linally ho had broken through hla
ranks, and was there to answer Dan
iel's prayer. Remember that patient
waiting is Just ns important as pray
ing. David's patient wnltlng was well re
warded, for God did four things for
Mm: (a) Ho brought him up out of
a horrible pit, that Is out of a con
dition of despair and doubt; (b) he
set bis feet upon the solid rock of as
surance; (c) he set him going In the
i way or Christian service; (d) he put
a song of praise Into his mouth all
sure sijms of a regenerate heart, and
every such life Is a mighty testimony
to God's redeeming power.
Mure than sixty years ago Gorrge
Miiller of Bristol Orphanage, England,
hcnn to pray for a group of five
frleiwls. After five years one of them
came to Christ. Five years later two
more were converted. Ho prayed on
fur twenty-live years and tho fourth
man was saved. For the fifth he prayed
until death, often expressing full con
lideuco that be too would bo brought
to Christ eventually, "because," as be
said, "my life so far as I know Is
right in God's sight ; I am praying for
something which Is according to God's
word, nnd I believe according to God's
will, and I am praying In faith, be
lieving thnt God will fulfill bis prom-
Ises.
2. Reflection. Verses 4-5. From his
own experience, Dnvld reasons that
any man who puts bis trust In God
will bo similarly blessed, ntid then his
thoughts reach out to tho wonderful
works which God has done for his chil
dren, and his more wonderful thoughts,
which have not yet boon put Into ac
tion. 3. Consecration. Verses 7-0. An
hour's honest reflection on what God
has done for us, is pretty sure to lead
to a whole-hearted surrender to him.
It Is not sacrifice or even servlco that
God desires so much ns ourselves. Tbo
best return wc can make to him is that
which David made: "Lord here am L
I delight to do thy will, O my God."
4. Expression, Verses 0-10. Any
one who thinks he has a gtood thing,
naturally likes to talk about It, and a
genuine Christian experience Is sure
to find expression In testimony. Difvld
did not hide God's goodness and right
eousness In his own heart, but boldly
and perslsteutly proclaimed It to oth
ers. "Lot tho redeemed of tho Lord
Bay 80."
6. Petition. Verses 11-17. Recnuso
David had given himself .wholly to
God, bo felt free to call upon God to
help him, not In the sense that he had
earned a reward, but with the confl
ileuco of a surrendered life, which lias
no hesitation In asking God for any
thing It needs, because It knows that
It would gladly render unto him any
service or sacrifice that be might do
sire, i
David Is evidently In sore trouble,
for he says, "Innumerable evils have
compassed mo about." If It bo said
that this does not harmonize with tho
early part of the psalm, which is so
hopeful and Jubilant, let it bo remem
i bored that chnngos In llfo come often
very suddenly, nnd most of us live un
der "April skies, nnd not unclouded
blue." No ono Is so fully delivered
from trials and testings as to be for
ever exempt.
Furthermore It Is not bo' much out
ward trials that trouble David as tbo
consciousness of his own shortcomings.
"MJno iniquities huve taken hold upon
mo so that I nm not able to look up."
A believer may be wholly delivered
from the guilt of sin,1 and largely from
tho power of sin, but there can be no
deliverance from Uio presence of sin
until Jesus comes to set us free, nence
we should expect trials until that time,
but we should nlso expect deliverance.
"In the world ye shnll hnve tribula
tion, but be of good cheer. I have over
come tho world."
Must Be Deep-Rooted.
Any ultimate delight in life must be
rooted in something deeper thnn sclf
sentcred pleasure; It must love pcr
tons and seek ends for their own sake ;
tnd find its boy not In the satlsfac-.
tlon of man as ho is, but In the devel
jpment of that which his thought and
love enable him to become. William
De Witt Hyde.
' Her One Fear.
There Is nothing tn the universe that
fear but that I shall not know all my
luty, or shall fall to do It Mary Lywu.
