11/23/11 Psalm 2
Scripture: Psalm 2:10-12- Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment, Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Observation: This is a warning that the Lord is given to the kings or the rulers of the earth. That is to serve the Lord with fear in your hearts and then rejoice with trembling in your voice. You must kiss the son, but to watch out for wrath that can get bigger within a moment. If God is angry with you and then you will be destroyed in his anger. However those that are blessed are the ones who take refuge with God.
Application: I think the application is more for those that are leaders of the city or country or the world and that is to be wise in your steps and love the Lord with fear in your hearts but in the same token you also need to rejoice. But in the same token we also need to abide by those rules as well. If God is angry with you and then you will be destroyed in his anger, through possible food famine or a disease or other way. However I think that God's wrath has subsided a little with the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus might have taken our sins and washed them white as snow, but that is not a total cop out. We also have to take refuge with God, because we know that God will not let us down at all. If we take refuge then we can possibly be seen in God's eyes that we are blessed by him.
Prayer: Oh mighty father, let us call on you tonight, Let the common folk as well as the leaders of our city, state, nation and world be guided in your words. Please let them know that they can come to you with any problems that they might have on their plates that are too big for them to handle by themselves. Let them and those that are called into volunteer service be willing and able to make that call and give up that hour or two or what ever is needed to help out with what you have called them to God. Let us all be able to serve you with a fear in our hearts and then come and rejoice to you with trembling in our voices. Let us all be blessed so that we may take refuge in you, Amen!!
