Reading: Psalm 50:1-6

The LORD, the God of gods, has spoken;
he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty,
God reveals himself in glory.

Our God will come and will not keep silence;
before him there is a consuming flame,
and round about him a raging storm.

He calls the heavens and the earth from above
to witness the judgment of his people.

“Gather before me my loyal followers,
those who have made a covenant with me
and sealed it with sacrifice.”

Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause;
for God himself is judge

Our God is not a quiet God. He speaks and the heavens appear; he speaks and the earth takes on form; he speaks and we breathe!

Because He is not quiet, we hear when He is around! Adam and Eve heard Him in the Garden of Eden and were afraid. Moses heard Him from a burning bush; Samuel heard Him in a dream; Elijah heard Him in a gentle whisper.  Our God is not quiet—and He is not far away!  If you listen, you will hear Him.

The Coming is not in silence! David said in Psalm 19, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech . . . There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

The Coming occurs in a torrent of testimony!  Angelic songs are sung, and trumpets sound . . .and names will be called.

When God comes down, He will not keep silence.  He did not; He will not!
