Psalm 32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found… I. THE UNIVERSAL MARK OF GODLINESS. 1. In its infancy. 2. In all stages of its growth. 3. True prayer is an infallible mark of godliness. 4. Prayer is natural to the godly man. 5. To such a man, prayer is a very happy and consoling exercise. 6. The prayers of the godly may be presented in a great many forms. II. A POTENT MOTIVE FOR PRAYING. 1. Because God heard such a great sinner as David was. 2. Because we all need pardon daily. 3. Every one who is godly will pray unto God, because he has received the pardon of sin. 4. Because troubles come. 5. Because God does hear prayer. Prayer does move the arm that moves the world, though nothing is put out of gear by our praying. III. THE SPECIAL OCCASION WHEN PRAYER IS MOST USEFUL. 1. The time of this mortal life. 2. Under the Gospel dispensation. 3. The time of the finding out of sin. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. |
