Word
of God
But
he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

But
in my trouble did I call upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he
heard my voice out of his Temple, and my cry did come before him,
even into his ears.
Brethren:
A
few studies ago we touched upon the fact that God hears our prayers,
and petitions unto Him. Often times we read how David prayed unto our
Creator and how He was certain that not only would they be heard, but
also answered.
Friends,
we too are like David, in so far as our prayers being heard and acted
upon we can rest assured that such will be done according to His
will. He does not change, nor does he waver like the wind, or shift
like the currents of the oceans. He is the same as He was then, as He
is now, and as He will be in the future. (Read Hebrews 13:8)
Dr.
Riktor Von Zhades - Servant of Christ
“The
great Jehovah, the everlasting I AM, who is the most High in all the
earth, and who is able to save, (Read Hebrews 5:7 ), as Jesus did,
(Read Matthew 27:46 ) ; so the members of Christ, when in distress,
as they often are, through sin and Satan, through the hidings of
God's face, a variety of afflictions, and the persecutions of men,
betake themselves to the Lord, and call upon their God: a time of
distress is a time for prayer; and sometimes the end God has in
suffering them to be in distress is to bring them to the throne of
his grace; and a great privilege it is they have that they have such
a throne to come to for grace and mercy to help them in time of need,
and such a God to sympathize with them, and help them; and their
encouragement to call upon him, and cry unto him, is, that he is
Jehovah, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent; who knows their
wants, is able to help them, and is a God at hand to do it.”
