Jeremiah 14:22. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain! Or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? Therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
O splendid perseverance of importunity,-strong resolve of a forbidden intercession! "Thou, O Lord our God, tellest us not to pray, but we cannot restrain our supplication: "Therefore we will wait upon thee." God help us all to wait upon him! We are not so discouraged from praying as he was who spoke these words, so there is still more reason why we should say to the Lord, "Therefore we will wait upon thee."
