Psalms 50:15
"And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." (In the church we have diversity of opinion as to what is the true form of worship. Some think the more simple and plain the outward worship can be, the better. Others think the more gorgeous and resplendent it can be, the better. Some are for the quietness of the meetinghouse; some are for the stormy music of the cathedral. Some argue that God is best praised in silence; others, that he is best honored with flute, harp, trombone, and lyre. In the Word of God, we find great room for diversity of mode, but we find ourselves constrained by a consecrated intolerance to a few matters of spirit. We are told there what is essential and what is not essential to the true worship of God. For example, prayer in time of trouble is a sweet form of worship. Someone is in great mental and emotional distress-here is an opportunity to worship God! We can trust him with our distress. We can call to him as a child calls to his mother and to show how we honor him, how we love him, how we trust him. We honor him even when we call, but when we get the answer to our prayer, which is proof that God has accepted our worship, then we will honor him again by devoutly thanking him that he has heard our prayer. This is a way in which we can worship God. When our sin lies heavy on our conscience, we can call on God in the day of trouble. "God, be merciful to me, a sinner!" That is true worship! If we have brought ourselves to poverty for our sin, we can say, "Lord, help me." That is prayer! Worship, then, can never go up from all the organs in the world if people's hearts do not go with them. What the Lord loves is the trust, the childlike confidence, the seeking after sympathy that is in his children's hearts).
