Call Unto God

Psalm 50:14-15

Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

Life often pulls us in many directions. Pressures build, needs arise, and unexpected problems throw us off course. In the midst of it all, God gives us a simple but powerful invitation: Offer thanksgiving. Keep your promises. Call on Me. I will deliver you.

This passage reminds us that God desires more from us than mere rituals. He values our gratitude and faithfulness. Offering thanks shifts our focus. Instead of dwelling on what’s lacking, we acknowledge what God has already done. When we thank Him even in difficulty, our hearts begin to change.

Alongside thanksgiving, God calls us to keep our vows. Whether spoken in prayer or held silently in the heart, our promises matter to Him. Following through shows love, trust, and respect for His presence in our lives.

Then comes the promise. “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you.” God doesn’t ask us to fix everything alone. He wants us to cry out to Him, to trust Him, and to expect His help. He may not always remove the challenge immediately, but He always walks with us through it.

When He delivers, we respond with praise—not out of obligation, but from joy. Glorifying God becomes a natural outflow of experiencing His goodness.

Today, choose gratitude over grumbling. Keep your word. And when trouble comes, turn first to the One who answers.
