Isaiah 41:17

THE SYMPATHY OF GOD

‘When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them.’

Isaiah 41:17

I. We have the sympathy and help of God before we are conscious of our need of them.

II. We have that same sympathy and help to enjoy, when from sense of need we begin to seek them.

III. Still more richly are they ours when we are too low, too weak to seek for them.

IV. We may expect the sympathy and help of God from most unlikely sources.
