5:38 AM Psalm 50
Father, You speak to the righteous and wicked alike, for You are over all the earth. You have the right, as Creator and Judge to speak to whomever You want; declare whatever You want; and judge every person according to their conduct and worship.
What can I possibly give to You that You don't already own? All creation, even the creatures of the field are Yours (v11). You possess it all.
Yet, You have a relationship with those who believe in You! You say "call on Me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me." (v15) You want to help me. You have provided for all I need and promised eternity to me; promised a new heaven and new earth to me; promised a home with You forever to me.
Thank You Lord Jesus, for dying in my place; paying for my sins; for opening my eyes so that I can see You, understand the gospel; for affording me the necessary grace for salvation.
Now, I ask, Father, in the Name of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, that You hedge in my family today; hedge in my church today. Protect us from the evil one…from ourselves, too. Thank You for rescuing me and for the salvation You have given to my family. May we serve You to Your satisfaction in this hostile and difficult world. Help us to remember You and see You, for You are Lord of all.
