Answers Pleas
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
Psalm 50:15
Humbling ourselves before the Lord, breaking the spirit of pride, and asking for help will elicit a response. How often do we demand things from God, thinking we know better than He does what we need? But when faced with impossible situations, we find ourselves seeking help from the Creator, realizing that maybe we don’t know best.
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Prov. 16:18
Nothing makes us fall to our knees faster and let go of pride than a fall. When we humbly cry to the Lord on day of trouble, He answers our plea. Problems abound in everyone’s life. How we respond to the turmoil depends on our heart posture. Pride will lead us down a sinful path, but humility will help us to follow the Lord and live divinely. God teaches us in our adversity, growing and maturing us as we seek Him for help. Tapping into the Almighty’s strength will help us overcome our weaknesses.
Trust that God will answer your pleas when you approach Him with a humble heart. The Lord strengthens our faith when He answers our pleas and delivers us from trouble. Remember to give God the glory when you experience His deliverance. You can have faith in the Lord that He will rescue and restore you.
Application:
God answers our pleas for help.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for answering our pleas for help in the day of trouble. Help us remain humble and hungry for more of You. Grow and mature us as we face the storm, becoming more like Christ with each day that passes.
IJNIP. Amen
