Psalm 50: 14 –
17
Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
and call
upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor
me.
But to the wicked, God says:
"What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant
on your lips? You hate my instruction
and cast my words behind you.
It seems as though, God is
speaking to two different kinds of people in this scripture passage. Those who
are obedient and repentant, and those who are not.
Those who fulfill their vows to
God, can expect Him to help them in times of trouble. Those who don’t, can
expect God’s wrath.
How many times have you heard
people say….. “God loves everyone, and a loving God would never send anyone
to hell.”
It seems that kind of theology,
doesn’t hold much weight, especially when you compare it to
scripture.
Maybe you’re going through some
kind of trouble right now. Maybe the reason God doesn’t seem to hear, is because
your failing to fulfill your vows to Him.
If you expect God to lift you
from the pit, you may have to cry out in a spirit of forgiveness and
repentance.
That always get’s God’s
attention.
Believe it or not, there are
people now days, that truly hate God’s instruction and His
Words.
Maybe that’s why trouble seems
to follow them everywhere. If things don’t change, it will follow them all the
way into eternity……
