标 题： 神的供应带来荣耀
经 节： 并要在患难之日求告我；我必搭救你，你也要荣耀我。（诗篇五十章15节）
知道吗？当你面临苦难，求告神会为神带来荣耀。神应许，若是你转向祂，祂必拯救你。每回遭遇困难，你不求神的帮助，就是拒绝荣耀神。有时候，神允许让你有某种需求，所以非得求告神不可。如此一来，世人可以看到神在祂儿女身上的作为，是何等不同。如果神从未让你有需求的经验，那么你周遭的人可能永远没有机会，亲眼看到神是如何丰盛供应基督徒的生活所需。如果从未面对短缺，你可能会自以为能自给自足，不需要神每日供应你的需要。
骄傲使你自以为不需要神的帮助，自尊使你以为靠着自己的聪明才智、资产及努力，就可以处理任何困境。骄傲也会夺取神的荣耀，并且把荣耀归于自己。不要让你的骄傲窃取神的荣耀。求告你的主，单单等候祂的拯救，然后，归所有祂应得的荣耀给祂。
自给自足的观念可能会大大地阻挡你经历神的能力，并把荣耀归给神。下回面临苦难时，要求告神！
God’s
Provision Brings Glory
Call
upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.
(Psalms 50:15)
Did you know that you bring glory to God
by calling upon Him when you are in distress? God promised He would deliver you
if you turned to Him. You deny the Lord honor that is rightfully His every time
you find yourself in difficulty and you fail to call upon Him for help! There
may be times when God allows 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
need, people around you might never have the opportunity to witness God’s
provision in the life of a Christian. 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 dilemma through your own wisdom, resources, and hard work.
Pride will also rob glory from God and seek to give it to you. Don’t allow your
pride to take what rightfully belongs to the Lord. Call upon your Lord and wait
exclusively upon Him to rescue you. Then give Him the glory that He deserves.
Self-sufficiency can greatly hinder your
ability to experience God and bring Him honor. The next time you are in
distress, turn to Him!
