September 6 devotional

Scripture
Psalm 50:15
“Trust me in your times of trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.”
Observation
This verse was given to me as a promise 10 years ago. It has gotten me through some difficult times.
The verse tells me that I will go through times of trouble. Just because I am a Christian does not mean that my life will be trouble free. I live in a fallen world. The instruction is that in times of trouble, trust God. Do not place your trust in man, institutions, or things. Trust God because He is trustworthy. The promise is that He will rescue me. I may feel like I am drowning but do not be afraid, God will always come to my rescue. The results are that God will receive Glory. I will have a testimony of the power and faithfulness of God.
Application
I cannot forget this promise. It is still true today. It is one of my “life verses”. I can still trust God in times of trouble. He will rescue me and I will testify of his faithfulness. Praise the Lord.
Prayer
Father, thank you for your loyalty and faithfulness. In my trouble, I will trust you. You will rescue me. I give you all the glory ahead of time. Thank you. I love you much.
