Good morning beloved, happy Friday,
“Call upon the Lord in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
(Psalm 50:15).
This verse is our memory verse in this week’s Scripture Memory Class. It is so encouraging to our hearts. The main emphasis is how to handle our troubles.
There are two commandments and one promise in this beautiful verse. We often focus on God’s deliverance in the day of trouble, and rightly so, but we mustn’t overlook our responsibility: calling on the Lord and glorifying Him when He delivers us.
• Call upon the Lord in the Day of trouble – Certainly troubles will come to all of us at one time or another, sometimes every day. When trouble comes, how do we react? David also says in Psalm 86:7 a similar thought, “In the day of trouble I will call upon You. And He will answer me.”
In speaking of not worrying, Jesus said, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will care of its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34). All we must do is call upon the Lord in the day of trouble. He is only a prayer away.
• I will deliver you – This the promise from God is to deliver us. His deliverance is not just sparing us from it, but taking us through it. His grace is always sufficient for us. Whatever God chooses to do for us, we should trust Him.
• You shall glorify Me – So many times we are quick to ask from the Lord but slow thank and glorify Him when He answers our prayers. God shows His power so that we will show our appreciation to Him. Sometimes it may be public at a prayer meeting and other times in our private daily devotions.
Let us then call upon the Lord when we face trouble, and glorify Him. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.
Lord, my troubles may be many or few; but let me always thank and glorify You.
