Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Humiliation and Hope; Or the Christian Patriot´s Duty in the Present Crisis of Our National Affairs: A Discourse, Delivered November 14, 1862, the Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer Appointed by the Synod of Michigan We can find no more appropriate form of prayer for this day, than these words. Indeed the spirit, if not the language, of this entire Psalm, may be of use to us, in that humiliation of ourselves before God, which the Synod of Michigan has recommended to its congregations, and for which the present circumstances and exigencies of our country loudly and solemnly call, from every Christian patriot. It is entitled "A Psalm of Asaph," and is one of those plaintive strains in which the Spirit of God led that holy prophetic seer to tune his harp, and strike its strings, in unison with the moanings of the chill winds of a dark night. It is the cry of distress poured out into the ears of the Righteous Judge of all the earth; the wail of a widowed heart, importunately pressing its prayer, in a season of great peril and perplexity; just such as the Saviour seems to have had in his view, when applying his own parable of the poor widow and unjust judge. He asks, "And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, tho´ He bear long with them:" - Luke 18: 7. It seems to have been dictated for the use of the Church in affliction, and tells of martyrdom, whether in the flesh or spirit, or both. It suited well the condition of the Church in Asaph´s days; and that of the people of God in any and every age and country whenever oppressed, or suffering from calamitous events, and the ravages of war.
