The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines forth.
Our God comes
and will not be silent (Psalm 50:1-3)
Mighty God, Creator of all things,
By your power what was nothing became something. The universe was nothing, merely contained within your power and it came forth as a seemingly infinite span. The earth was nothing, formless from the bursting forth of your creation, but by your power and guidance it formed into a perfect habitat for us. Man was only a concept contained within your mind and by your breath we came into being. Your voice has spoken all that is from nothing, your Word bringing forth creation and order, your Spirit giving life. Your Word also becoming flesh so that by His sacrifice, our lives that are otherwise nothing, become your vessels of redemption in this creation, as you breath life into the spiritually dead.
Do not now be silent as these little ones grow up. Speak your power around them to shield them. Speak you Word into their hearts. Speak your Spirit of power into their being. Shout the command to your protective angels. Shout your rebuke against the evil one. Whisper your care and compassion into their souls. Sing your love over them.
Oh God come and do not be silent.
Amen
