The Lord Will Hear Us...

...else we have no hope. The essential message of Psalms 28.1. David cries out to the Lord that the Lord would not be deaf to him. Why? Because that is all he has. If the Lord does not hear David, who will hear him?

Just so for us. We have one place to go for help in trouble, to the Lord our God. If he will not hear us, then we are without hope. This is why God is our only rock. If God is silent, then we are hopeless, just like those who go down to the pit. Hear us, O Lord, when we cry out.

The immutable Jehovah is our rock, the immovable foundation of all our hopes and our refuge in time of trouble: we are fixed in our determination to flee to him as our stronghold in every hour of danger. It will be in vain to call to the rocks in the day of judgment, but our rock attends to our cries. Charles Spurgeon
