“Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” Psalms 50:14-15
Do you ever feel like you're bothering God when you ask for His help? When you cry out to Him, do you sometimes feel like a failure? That's Satan trying to mess with you. God gives us three ways to praise Him in Psalm 50: 1. Give thanks to Him, 2. Fulfill your vows to Him and 3. Call on Him in your trouble.
Charles Spurgeon puts it this way, "See the three ways of praising God? One is by giving Him your grateful thanksgiving. Banish your murmurings. Sweep away your mistrusts and let your mouth be filled with His praise all the daylong! Then the next way of praising God is by paying your vows unto Him — let your constant prayers and offerings to God prove the gratitude of your heart. And the last and sweetest way of praising God is to call upon Him in the day of trouble. There are many of you who are in trouble at this moment, therefore call upon God! Perhaps you say, "That will benefit me, but how will it glorify Him?" Why, God gets much honor out of hearts that dare to trust Him! If you can cast your burden upon the Lord, you will as much honor Him as angels do when, with veiled faces, they cry, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts: the whole earth is full of His Glory
