“And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalm 50:15).

Here is an urgent occasion!

– “the day of trouble.”

It is dark at noon on such a day.

Every hour seems blacker than the one which came before it.

Then is this promise in season:

It is written for the cloudy day.

Here is an upholding advice!!

– “Call upon Me.”

We ought not to need the exhortation:

It should be our constant habit all the day and every day.

What a mercy to have liberty to call upon God!

What wisdom to make good use of it!

How foolish to go running about to men!

The Lord invites us to lay our case before Him.

And surely we will not hesitate to do so.

Here is an undoubtful promise!!!

– “I will deliver you!”

Whatever the trouble may be-

– the Lord makes no exceptions but promises full, sure, happy deliverance.

He will Himself work out our deliverance by His own hand.

We believe it, and the Lord honours faith.

Here is an ultimate result!

– “You shall glorify Me.”

When He has delivered us-

– we will loudly praise Him.

As He is sure to do it-

Let us begin to glorify Him at once!
