Knowing God through His Word … Day by Day

Psalm 65:2,5

O you who hear prayer,  to you shall all flesh come…..

By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,

O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;

Charles Spurgeon commented on this passage:

Prevalence with God in wrestling prayer is sure to make the believer strong—if not happy. The nearest place to the gate of heaven is the throne of the heavenly grace. Much alone, and you will have much assurance; little alone with Jesus, your religion will be shallow, polluted with many doubts and fears, and not sparkling with the joy of the Lord.
