Psalm 50

Our God is coming; he will not be silent!

Yes – as this Psalm promises, I may call on God in a day of trouble and He will rescue me.

I count on that.

But is is also true that He comes to judge. And He is not appeased with the insignificant “sacrifice” I make. It is already His and much more besides.

He has no need of it. And His judgment is made, finding me, “flinging my words behind,” “associating” with the people of this world who have no fear or interest in God almighty.

I must turn to Him. With thanksgiving for His unfailing mercy, His gracious gifts, and determine to live in a way that honors His presence.

The heavens proclaim His righteousness!

So must I.
