Proclamation:
“… 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.” Psalm 50:14-15 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by the seer and prophet Asaph, to be
sung in the public worship service. This
psalm is thought to be a prophecy of the future judgment day. It is written filled with quotations from The
Lord God to the people and begins by stating “The Mighty One, God, The Lord,
speaks …” and then states “Our God shall come …” (Psalm 50:3) The heavens and the angels proclaim His
righteousness, for He is a God of justice. (Psalm 50:6) They are told to offer sacrificial
thanksgiving to The Lord and to fulfill their vows and commitments to Him with
praise and worship, and He will deliver them in the day of trouble. (Psalm
50:15 and 23)
Application:
As believers we are to praise and worship The
Lord. Our sacrificial giving
demonstrates our true feelings toward Him and our priorities, that He is first
in our lives and our hearts. (Psalm 50:14)
He is faithful to His word, He will keep His promises, and He will
deliver us. (Psalm 50:15, Galatians 1:4, and 2 Timothy 4:18) He will deliver us in the time of trouble.
(Psalm 41:1) If we believe in Him, we
will be saved. (John 3:16) If we have
faith and trust in Him, He will be pleased. (Hebrews 11:6) If we keep His commandments, He will grant us
His favor. (Proverbs 3:1-4)
