I. THE DAY. "Day of trouble."

1. All know more or less of this "day" — morning, noon, or eventide of it, or the whole "day."

2. Trouble various:(1) Business trouble — competition — dishonest traders — bad times, etc.

(2) Domestic trouble — family cares — sick child — wayward son or daughter — poverty.

(3) Soul-trouble — sins realized — con-science accusing — unworthiness and imperfections — doubts and fears, etc.

3. Only a "day"! not a week — month — year, etc.

II. THE REQUEST. "Call upon Me." Friends generally plentiful in prosperity, scarce in trouble. God wants us to come particularly then. Take your prayer-cheques and faith-orders to His Bank, and so ask and receive that your joy may be full. This the Divine cure for trouble. Don't worry — chafe — fret — despair; simply give Him a "call" — He is always at home, etc.

III. THE PROMISE. "I will deliver thee." Infinite ability and willinghood — power and love — are at the back of this promise. None ever called aright and were refused. Noah, David, Daniel, etc., cried and were delivered.

IV. THE RESULT. "Thou shalt glorify Me."

1. By presenting praise (ver 23).

2. By publishing His fame — gratitude will constrain to this.

3. By trusting implicitly at all times.

(J. O. Keen, D. D.)
