0583. THE SERVANT’S PRAYER.

THE SERVANT’S PRAYER.

Act_4:29.

I. It implies confession. "Thy servant." This is a good confession. What a Master!

II. It suggests danger. "Their threatenings." These are never awanting where there is faithful service.

III. It appeals for protection. "Behold their," etc. As Hezekiah spread the letter before the Lord (Isa_37:14-17).

IV. It pleads for boldness. "That with all boldness," etc. (Act_14:3).

V. It urges His honour. "That they may speak Thy Word." Powerful argument.

VI. It presses for instant help. "Now Lord." Faith is always importunate.
