Are you fulfilling your vows?


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……
