“The Mighty One, God the Lord, has spoken and called the earth
from the rising of the sun to its going down.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
“Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Let the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you;
I am God, your God! I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me.
I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds.
For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
“If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes,
or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction and cast My words behind you?
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.
You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
These things you have done, and I kept silent;
you thought that I was altogether like you; but I will rebuke you,
and set them in order before your eyes. 'Now consider this, you who forget God,
lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.'"
Psalm 50 NKJV
O Mighty One, God my Lord, You have spoken time and time again. You will come again, Jesus. You will shine forth, and when that day comes, You will not keep silent. You will judge all people. You have made this known to us; You have given us warning. You are righteous, and all heaven and earth will know it. You are my God, and I will praise You.
You will gather all your saints who have made a covenant with You by sacrifice. Sacrifices of the heart is what You desire, offerings of praise and thanksgiving. Lord, my heart hasn't always been right with You. You said if I call on You in a day of trouble, You will deliver me. And so, I call on You, my God and Savior. Deliver me from the trouble my sin has caused. I have not obeyed You. I have tried to be the god of my life instead of letting You be my God because I have forgotten You. I have manipulated Your Word to fit my standards rather than let Your standards be my life. You have kept silent to give me time to repent. Judge not my actions, Lord, but my contrite heart. I am so very sorry for neglecting You, Your laws, and Your covenant with me. I offer You my heart. Restore me back to You.
O Mighty One, I glorify You! You truly are a God who saves. Thank You for Your grace, Your mercy, Your forgiveness. Thank You for Your salvation, Jesus, and for giving up Your life for mine. I offer now my life and my heart to You. I will glorify You all of my days. Amen.
