"Evening, and morning, and
at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice." (Psalms
55:17)
The greatest unclaimed resource
available to us today is prayer.
David's testimony was that he
prayed three times a day. I see him
perhaps on his knees by his bedside after a hard day. He closes his day by giving a brief farewell
to the heavenly Father until morning, thanking Him for His presence through all
the difficulties of the day and asking for His protection through the night.
I see this king of Israel
checking in with God and reporting for duty early in the morning. He acknowledges, as we should, that the day
is too long if spent without God.
Then, at noon this shepherd boy
chosen to be king of God's people admits that he needs God in the middle of the
day, so he prays.
If the great King of Israel
needed to talk things over with God three times a day, who is this peasant
preacher not to need to do the same. David had confidence that God would hear
his voice. You can exercise that same confidence. Begin to pray frequently.
