"It Shall Come To Pass, That Before They Call, I Will Answer."


Amidst the multitude of supplicants 
who daily and hourly present their 
various petitions  (Arthur Pink)

The omniscience of GOD is an 

encouragement to prayer. There is 
no cause for fearing that the petitions 
of the righteous will not be heard, 
or that their sighs and tears shall 
escape the notice of GOD--
since HE knows the thoughts 
and intents of the heart.

There is no danger of the individual 

saint being overlooked amidst 
the multitude of supplicants 
who daily and hourly present 
their various petitions, for an 
infinite mind is as capable of paying 
the same attention to millions, as if 
only one individual were seeking 
its attention. 

So too the lack of appropriate language, 

the inability to give expression to 
the deepest longing of the soul--
will not jeopardize our prayers, for 

"It shall come to pass, that before 
they call, I will answer; and while 
they are yet speaking, I will hear" 
(Isaiah 65:24).
