The Lord, our God, is “King of the whole earth. He rules the nations”
(Psalm 46:10; Psalm 47:7-9). The Lord is great. He is “the great King”
(Psalm 48:14). The Lord does not remain detached from us in isolated
heavenly glory. He comes to us as the God of our salvation - “God will
buy me back from the power of hell” (Psalm 49:15). By His Word, spoken
to us and acted out on our behalf, God involves Himself with us as our
Saviour. He is not a God who keeps His distance from us - “Our God will
come.” He is not a God who keeps His silence - “and will not be silent”
(Psalm 50:3). This God comes to us with His promise of salvation - “Call
on Me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honour Me”
(Psalm 50:15). Along with this promise of salvation comes God’s call to
live in faith and obedience: “Bring your thanks to God as a sacrifice,
and keep your vows to the Most High” (Psalm 50:15). To those who walk in
His way, the Lord promises His blessing: “Whoever offers thanks as a
sacrifice honours Me. I will let everyone, who continues in My way, see
the salvation that comes from God” (Psalm 50:23).
