Psalms 32:6

Psalms 32:6. 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.

The fact that God hears us at the first and gives us a great deliverance when we, are; under a sense of sin, makes us pray to him as long as ever we live. We shall never forget how God heard us then; and something whispers into our heart, "its heard you then; he will hear you now." One thing I know, if you do not. I never can come to God again in such a plight as I came to him at the first. Whatever happens to me, - if I am bereaved a thousand times, - if I am covered, from head to foot with sores, and sit like Job on a dunghill, - I can never be brought so low as I was when, in my despair, I was ready to lay violent hands on myself rather than live any longer under a sense of sin. I looked unto him, and I was lightened; and that first grand deliverance ensures that, in every other time of trial, in every other flood of great waters, when I cry unto God, he will deliver me.
