1 Samuel 7:8 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Cease not, &c. — We are afraid to look God in the face, because of our great wickedness: do thou therefore intercede for us, as Moses did for his generation. They had reason to expect this, because he had promised to pray for them, had promised them deliverance from the Philistines, and they had been observant of him, in all that he had spoken to them from the Lord. Thus they who receive Christ as their lawgiver and judge, need not doubt of their interest in his intercession. O what a comfort is it to all believers, that he never ceaseth, but always appears in the presence of God for us.

1 Samuel 7:8

8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Ceasea not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
