3. The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth
*Meditation
Psalm 50:1-5a NIV
The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
Our God comes, and does not keep silence…
God calls to the heavens above and to the earth…
“Gather to me my faithful ones...
Hear, O my people, and I will speak…”

We are perishing!” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm. 27 They were amazed, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”
