Scripture lesson: Psalm 50:1-6 God the Judge

Time to reflect: Before we dismiss this as just “Old Testament God of Law” remember Matthew 25, the Sheep and to Goats story. Throughout the Bible God is portrayed as the Judge of all. But throughout the Bible God is portrayed as a loving God who is more interested in saving than condemning. But God is still the Judge of all.

Moving Throughout the day: Pray a prayer of confession.

 Scripture:

The Mighty One, God, the LORD,
       speaks and summons the earth
       from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

 From Zion, perfect in beauty,
       God shines forth.

 Our God comes and will not be silent;
       a fire devours before him,
       and around him a tempest rages.

  He summons the heavens above,
       and the earth, that he may judge his people:

  "Gather to me my consecrated ones,
       who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

  And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
       for God himself is judge.
       Selah
