Let me ask you a question: Did you know that we bring God glory by calling upon Him when we are in distress? You see, God has promised that He would deliver us if we turned to Him. We deny the Lord honor that is rightfully His every time we find ourselves in difficulty and we fail to call upon Him for help!
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." Psalm 50:15
Friends, there may be times when God allows us to reach a point of need so that we will call upon Him, and thus let Him demonstrate to a watching and waiting world the difference He makes in the lives of His children. I fully believe that if God never allowed us to experience need, people around us might never have the opportunity to witness God's provision in the life of a Christian. If we have never faced a shortfall, we might be tempted to feel self-sufficient and without any need of God in our daily life.
Pride will tempt us to think that we do not need to seek God's assistance. Self-regard will seek to convince us that we can handle our dilemma through our own wisdom, resources, and hard work. Pride will also rob glory from God and seek to give it to us. We cannot allow our pride to take what rightfully belongs to the Lord. We need to call upon our Lord and wait exclusively upon Him to rescue us! Then we need to give Him the glory that He deserves.
One last thing friends: remember that self-sufficiency can greatly hinder our ability to experience God and bring Him honor. The next time we find ourselves in distress, we should turn to Him!
May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!
