Just Call

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
Psalm 50:15This is a wonderful scripture with wonderful promises. It is wonderful to know God is just waiting by His heavenly telephone for us to call. He is just a call away. Do you have His number? It is Jer.33:3 – “Call on me and I will answer and show you great and mighty things you do not know.” What happens when we call on God?

The word, “call,” in the Hebrew means, “To call out by name.” If your trouble is ‘sickness,’ call on Jehovah Ropha, (“I am the Lord Who heals you” Ex.15:26).
If your trouble is anxiety, call on Jehovah Shalom, (“Prince of Peace – Isa.9:6 & 26:3).
If your trouble is sin, call on Jehovah Tsidkenu, (The Lord Our Righteousness – Jer.23:6; 33:16).
If your trouble is want, call on Jehovah Jireh, (Our Provider – Phil.4:19).
If your trouble is loneliness or fear, call on Jehovah Shammah, (God is there – Jer. 42:11; Ps. 139:1-18).
If your trouble is helplessness, call on Jehovah Rohi, (The Lord is my Shepherd – Ps.23); He is your helper, friend, protector, deliverer – all you need.
If your trouble is grief, call on (The God of all Comfort – (II Cor. 1:3-5).

How big is your God? He holds you in His hands, trouble and all. HE IS BIG ENOUGH!

When God delivers you out of your trouble then “glorify” Him by praising His holy name/s and how He has answered your call.
