But we need to understand that this is really referring to making a sacrifice of thanks to God, not just an off-the-cuff expression that has little meaning or sincerity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">You see, of all the things we can offer to God, a sacrifice of thanksgiving is one that never fails to please Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Next, we are told to \u201cpay our vows\u201d to Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">What comes to mind when we read this will typically be the idea of paying something monetarily, such as our tithes and offerings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">While that is something that we should all do, this is actually referring to \u201ckeeping\u201d our vows to God, not paying Him with money. Simply put, we follow through on the things we promise Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And then look at what He tells us in verse 15!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">After we are told to offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and to keep the vows we make to Him, He tells us to call upon Him in our day of trouble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And what will He do? He will deliver us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">So, as we are faithful to Him, He is mutually favorable toward us, declaring that He will deliver us in the day of trouble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And, lastly, He tells us to glorify Him after He has rescued us from our trouble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This is such a simple truth that we so often overlook in our lives. But the effects of carrying it out are more than worth the effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
