Talking To God

The Mighty One, God the LORD, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its going down. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tepestuous all around Him.
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people; "Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." Let the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge.
Selah
"Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God! I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me. I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of your folds. For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer to God thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."
But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to declare My statues, or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction, and cast My words behind you? When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son. These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes."
"Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver; Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God."
Psalm 50
God, this is who You are. God, you will shine forth. Mighty God, you will not keep silent. All-knowing counselor, You alone know the beginning through to the end. You don't desire sacrifices and actions I take to outwardly please You while my inward heart is in a whirlwind of all manner of despair. You say, "Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." I call upon you right now, right here. Deliver. Shine forth. With Your fire, burn up the chaff of my life; I trust Your refining fire.
I offer you thanksgiving. I don't know how You are going to provide, I just know You are. Thank You. I don't know how you are going to guide, I just know you are. Thank You. I don't know what new steps of faith or obedience I'm going to have to take, I just know I will. Thank You and, Father, help me. I don't know how all these dead ended situations in my life are going to be used for good, but Your word says, "All things work together for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose." Thank You. Thank You for Your Word; Saturate me. Thank You for cleansing me with Your Word.
God, others need You too. Others need to hear You. Draw them to Your word. Work on behalf of Your children. Comfort their weary and frail hearts. Hold them. Shelter them. Be their refuge. All that you promise to be, You are; Remind them. Give Your children strength to speak of You, live for You, love because of You. Fulfill all our purposes! We are Your children, Father. Who else do we have to show us how to live but you? Who else can we glean strength? Where else can we find wisdom? Nothing else but You will do; You are everything. Stir our hearts, strengthen our legs, help us stand and fight and conquer. Turn our love toward You and help us to love others, oh please, help us to love.
Thank You God for never forsaking us. Thank You that when we seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, all the things that concern us are added to us. Thank you that You provide.
Thank You God. Thank You for all you are doing and all you have yet to do.
These praises I offer You. Bring salvation. I love You Father.
