"God's Provision bring Glory"

  But there's a key word for this all verse what the Lord has speaking Read Psalm 50:15 If you are in distress you can't remember all but the Psalm 50:15  you can and say call upon me in the day of trouble i will deliver you and you will honor me"

          

Did you know that you bring glory to God by calling upon him you are in disressed? God promised He would deliver if you turned to Him. You deny the Lord honor that is rightfully His. Everytime yourself in difficulty and you fail to call Upon Him for help?

There are many times when God allow you to reach a point of need So that you can call upon Him and thus let Him demonstrate to a Watching world the difference He makes in the lives of his children.

   If God never allowed you to experience needs people around you Might never have the oppurtunity to witness God's Provision in the Life of believer. If you never faced a shortfall you might be tempted To feel self sufficient and without any need of God in your daily life

Pride will tempt you to think that you do not need to seek God's 

assistance self-regard will seek to convince you that you can handle

Your dilema through your own wisdom resources and hard work.

   Pride will also rob the Glory from God and seek to give it to you 

Don't allow pride to take what rightfully belong to the Lord.

Self-sufficiency can greatly hinder your ability to experience God And bring Him honor.

And old story tells of an angel who was sent by God to inform satan that all his method to defeat christians would be taken from him. The devil pleaded to keep just one. "Let me retain depre-

ssion." He begged. The angel, thinking this a small request, agreed.

"Good!" Satan exclaimed. He laughed and said, "In that one gift, I 

have secured all."

    In a now out-of-print book about depression, author Roger Barrett describes it as a "wretched experience that leaves you exhausted. Uninvolved, and in deep, hopeless despair.. You feel doomed Trapped...it's awful!"

    In every age, God's people have struggled with cripping emotion. Elijah's cry "It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life!" Is the cry of a despondent man (1kings 19:4). Other like Job and David knew similar. Agony of soul, but they emerged from it with stronger faith.

That's encouraging! 

    Depression can be rooted in spiritual, mental, or physical causes, and we should not be afraid to seek godly counsel and medical help. Whatever the initial cause, satan would love to defeat us by keeping us in our hope-starved condition. That's why we need to see that our ultimate help is in God--for He loves us and longs to 

shine His light through the clouds that surround us. He is the God of Hope. No one is hopeless who knows the God of hope.
