Week of February 26, 2006, Psalm 50: 1-6
Welcome. One of the Scripture lessons for Sunday (Transfiguration Sunday, where Jesus shows His true glory to three of His disciples, Peter, James and John) is from Psalm 50, verses 1 to 6 - showing the Old Testament perspective of Almighty God, shining forth:
1 The 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.
Dear God, the Almighty God, the Lord, You speak and summon the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. You ordain everything in order. You shine forth in Your creation. Shine forth in me. May the fires and tempests that sometimes surround me be silenced.
Speak, Lord, for I need to hear You. Whether in Your creation, through Your Word, through Your people, shine forth and remind me that You are God, the Mighty One. For You judge Your people. You gather Your people, consecrating, with a covenant that reminds each of us that You are our God and we are Your people. Come, Heavenly Father, speak forth Your Word to each of us as we need.
Jesus, thanks for Your love, Your presence with us now and always. Amen.
May the Lord bless you as you go on your way. May He go before you to show you the way. May He go behind you to encourage you. May He go beside you to guide and befriend you. May He always be above you to watch over you. And may He be within you to give you peace.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
