“Psalm 50”

 

The passion and power of this Psalm floors me.  When I read it I hear trumpets blasting and drums and harps and angels singing glory to the LORD.  I hear a loud large voice belting out the words of this Psalm a glorifying majestic tune to the LORD.  Before you read this ask the lord to share with you the sounds that go with this Psalm and see if you hear what I hear.  I will have to see if I can use my computer to immolate what I am hearing for you guys and play it on the radio station.

 

1The Mighty One, God, the LORD,
       speaks and summons the earth
       from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

 2 From Zion, perfect in beauty,
       God shines forth.

 3 Our God comes and will not be silent;
       a fire devours before him,
       and around him a tempest rages.

 4 He summons the heavens above,
       and the earth, that he may judge his people:

 5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones,
       who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

 6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
       for God himself is judge.
      

Selah

 

 7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
       O Israel, and I will testify against you:
       I am God, your God.

 8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
       or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

 9 I have no need of a bull from your stall
       or of goats from your pens,

 10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
       and the cattle on a thousand hills.

 11 I know every bird in the mountains,
       and the creatures of the field are mine.

 12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
       for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
       or drink the blood of goats?

 14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
       fulfill your vows to the Most High,

 15 and call upon me in the day of trouble;
       I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

 16 But to the wicked, God says:
       "What right have you to recite my laws
       or take my covenant on your lips?

 17 You hate my instruction
       and cast my words behind you.

 18 When you see a thief, you join with him;
       you throw in your lot with adulterers.

 19 You use your mouth for evil
       and harness your tongue to deceit.

 20 You speak continually against your brother
       and slander your own mother's son.

 21 These things you have done and I kept silent;
       you thought I was altogether ^[a] like you.
       But I will rebuke you
       and accuse you to your face.

 22 "Consider this, you who forget God,
       or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:

 23 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
       and he prepares the way
       so that I may show him ^[b] the salvation of God."

 

So powerful a message here.  Fits right in with the last few PRaPs that have been written.  Look at customs and then read this again.  Read yesterdays “How Does God Speak To You” and then read this one again.  Powerful is our God our Lord our Salvation in Jesus Christ.  I know this was long today but it is worth it.

 

PEACE and AGAPE LOVE, Pastor, Dad, DJ Dude
