Psalms 142:5. I cried unto thee, O LORD:
Ah! that is the thing to do. When no man will know you, God will know you. When no man cares for you, God will care for you. Prayer is an unfailing resort. "I cried unto thee, O Lord."
Psalms 142:5. I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
See how he clings to his God now. We never do cling to God so well as when everything else fails us. To a greater or less extent, all those who yield us comfort do, in some little measure, take our heart off our God; but when it comes to be lonely, friendless, helpless, forgotten, despised, rejected, and outcast, oh! then it is a blessed thing, with a two-handed faith, to lay hold on God and say, "Thou art my refuge, and my portion in the land of the living."
