To You All Flesh Will Come

To You All Flesh Will Come

O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.

Psalm 65:2

We have before us a curious but glorious text. ‘O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.’ Consider, please, what it does say, as well as what it leaves unsaid. We must argue from what we know. God answers prayer. We understand that He answers prayer based upon the Intercession of Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, Who ‘makes intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered.’ So, when we encounter this verse, which speaks in regard to prayer, and it declares, ‘to You will all flesh come,’ how are we to understand it? Simply this: any soul on earth who desires answers to prayer from the Living God must approach Him to obtain those answers. We have no approach to God that is acceptable apart from Christ. We who are yet operating ‘in the flesh,’ that is, in this earthly frame, have access into the very Presence of God and that, by Christ. Because of Christ we may ‘come, boldly before the Throne of Grace.’ Because of Christ we may ‘obtain mercy.’ Because of Christ we may, ‘find grace to help in time of need.’ ‘All flesh will come.’ The undeclared implication is that to refuse to come to God through Christ is to, in effect forfeit answers to prayer. He answers prayer based upon Christ. Because we know the way, we should therefore make full use of that which God affords. Let us today come to this God Who answers the prayers of His seeking children.

Our Gracious Master and Our God,
We come unto You today,
As children to a Father, standing foursquare upon the merits of Christ,
Hear us today for Jesus’ sake.
