The mighty one, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Psalm 50:1
This verse says several things quickly …
- God is mighty.
- He is the creator.
- Our Lord speaks this world into the existence (from the rising of the sun!).
- At the end of all days – the setting of the sun – God will also summon all things back to himself.
- And every day, from morning til evening, is in his hands. (Indeed, from the rising to the setting of the sun, everything is in his hands!)
- Furthermore, every day, from the east (where the sun rises) to the west (where it sets), God is summoning all the peoples of the earth.
As we trace our way through this Psalms, God says,
“10 For all the animals of the forest are mine,
and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.
13 I don't need [anything] you [can give me,
including your] sacrifice[s] …
14 What I want instead is [your worship,]
your true thanks to God.”
This is a Psalm of worship. We are called to look up in wonder and awe. God creates all things. He completes all things. And in between – which is every day – he wants to bless all things, including you and me.
In Christ’s Love,
a guy who only hears
rumors of sun rises most days
(I’m content to let God
get the day rolling before I
venture very far out into it)
