Homilist Psalm 86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you: for you will answer me. I. HERE IS A DAY THAT MAY BE EXPECTED BY US ALL, Though all men do not "walk in the midst of trouble," all must meet with trouble sooner or later. There is no human experience that has not had, or will not have, such a day — personal and relative troubles, bodily and spiritual troubles. II. HERE IS A DETERMINATION THAT SHOULD BE FORMED BY US ALL. "I will call upon Thee." This resolution — 1. Agrees with our instinct. In trouble, men involuntarily call on God. This resolution — 2. Agrees with our reason. Who else can really help us? Money profiteth nothing in the day of trouble; and the tenderest, truest friendships are helpless. III. HERE IS A HOPE THAT MAY BE ENTERTAINED BY US ALL. "For Thou wilt answer me." 1. Thou hast answered others who called on Thee in trouble. 2. Thou hast promised to answer all who call on Thee in trouble. (Homilist.)
