DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

  Morning, June 17 Go To Evening Reading “Help, Lord.” —Psalm 12:1 The prayer is remarkable , for it is short , but seasonable, sententious , and suggestive . David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his weakness, or he would not have cried for help; simultaneously, he intended honestly to exert himself for the cause of truth, for the word “help” is inapplicable where we do nothing.
