“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” – Psalm 50:15
Whenever an aircraft or a ship is in danger, they call out the word: “Mayday” (thrice). Ever wondered what it meant? Mayday is derived from a French word – “m’aidez” which literally means – “help me”. But, they must prove their identity in-order to get the necessary help from the base.
Likewise, in the above verse, God commands us to call upon him whenever we are in trouble. But, you can only expect an answer, if you have an established relationship with him. If you are His child, deliverance is guaranteed in ways which you cannot comprehend. Once delivered, give Him all the glory!
