Psalm 50

This psalm simply and beautifully lays out the Truth of the Kingdom of God.

God, "the Mighty One"  Himself speaks to all the earth and to all of the heavens.  The setting is "Zion, the perfection of beauty".  His Presence is known my the Light of His glory that shines forth.
He is surrounded by "tempestuous" fire.  "He summons the heavens above and the earth , to judge His people" .  

"Gather My godly ones to Me".  Those who have "made a covenant with Me by sacrifice".
He speaks to us and we are to listen.
He alone is righteous and He is judge.
He is God.  Our God.
He accepts the sacrifices offered, but He is not in need of sustenance .  For He owns everything and is in need of nothing.
What He does desire from us is for us to : "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High; and Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you and you will honor Me."
We are to be thankful. Honest. Dependent. Humble. Reliant.  In constant contact with Him.  In right relationship with Him. Completely His.

Next, He addresses the "wicked", all those who have not turned to Him with whole hearts.
Those who speak the Word, but don't obey it.
Those who refuse His corrections.
Those who ignore His word.
Those who approve of thievery, adultery, deception, slander, and evil.
Those who think that God is okay with them because He hasn't struck them down.. yet.
" You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes. Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver." 
On that day, the day of God's judgement,  there will be no denying, no rationalizing, no excuses.

We choose to covenant with Him, or we don't.  It is our choice.  And we will face Him on that day and receive either His salvation or the consequences that He has clearly stated,  eternally condemnation.

" He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; and to him who orders his ways aright I shall show the salvation of God." 

Father in Heaven, God of all the earth, we do offer our thanksgiving for the gift of salvation that You have given to us in Christ Jesus.  Open our eyes to see Your glory, more and more.  Help us to live in Your Light, with thankful hearts and obedient lives.  We our Yours for You are God and King, the Ruler of all. Glory and honor and praises to You, O King Eternal. Amen.
