The Mighty One, God Almighty, is speaking and summons the world from east to west. Out of Zion, Almighty God, the perfection of beauty, shines forth and calls the earth to attention.
Our God is coming and He will not remain silent. Fire devours at His command. It clears the path ahead of Him and storms rage around Him. He calls to the heavens above and the earth, and He comes to judge His people.
His command is heard over all the earth, "Gather to me my faithful. Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice, Come!"
The heavens proclaim His righteousness and none can deny Him. God, Himself is Judge. He is just and He alone proclaims Justice.
(Selah)
Listen, for God is testifying against you:
Your sacrifices are stale before Me. I have no need of anything you can bring. Your sacrifices and offerings mean nothing to Me.
Do you not know that I am the Creator and All things exist at my order. All the animals are mine. All that you bring to me is mine already. It has always been mine. I have no need of your simple gifts.
Offer thanksgiving from your heart as your sacrifice to Me. Be faithful to your allegiance to Me. These are meaningful. Call on Me when you are in trouble and I will deliver you.
If you will honor Me in your heart, and raise Me up and have no other gods before Me, then I will answer you in your time of trouble. I will deliver you for you honor Me.
But to the wicked, the Almighty God says:
What right do you have to proclaim my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You take My instruction and fling it behind you. You ignore my laws that are meant to protect you.
When you see evil, you join in. You partner with the thief, the adulterers...you desire to mock Me and flagrantly lift your voice and intentions to spit in My face. You give your mouth free rein for evil.
Your hearts are intentionally directed toward deceit.
Should I remain silent? Do you think I am unaware? ...or too busy? Perhaps you thought you are like Me and come as a valid adversary.
Know this: I will rebuke you and indict you to your face. I will do this thing before the world.
Whoever offers thanksgiving –his sacrifices honors Me. To him who goes the right way, to him, will show my salvation.

A petition for safety for heads of states (Psalm 4)
O God who lives, my God,
Hear me when I call.
You are the God of righteousness. You know my going out and my coming in. You have uplifted me in times of distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
The world has turned Your glory into shame. They loathe all that You have said and they intentionally feed the rebellion of all that You stand for. The world is chasing its own vanity and laughs haughtily at Your Word.
Yet, O God, there are those of us who petition You on behalf of this nation and on behalf of this world, which has gone astray. There are those in whom You have created a clean heart...O God who is Truth, hear our prayers.
We come, offering the offering of obedience. We bring the righteousness of Jesus Christ with us, for we know we have none of our own. We come. We stand in awe. We cannot look upon Your purity, Your righteousness, Your sovereign authority. We can only be silent before You.
You have set us apart. O God, hear our prayer. We ask, not because we deserve Your attention, but becuase we are Your children and because You have beconned us to do so.
So many doubt You. And many who know You are looking, they scorn You and spit on Your ways, knowing that You are looking. Their haughtyness is their delight.
O God, have mercy.
I come, asking Your attention on the gathering on Monday. So many heads of states. O God, please protect them from mischevious ploys.
Lift up the light of Your countenance, that they may see and know You are God. May the encounter be undeniable, that those who would, come forth in belief.
You have put gladness in my heart, for You are sovereign. Nothing can change it. I place this in Your hands with my request and ask these people may, at this time, dwell in safety.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord, who hears the petition of His servant.
Maranatha!
