Dear friends,
Psalm 2 closes with an invitation to make the Lord our refuge.
Psalm 2:10-12 NIV
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
The word “therefore” acts like a hinge connecting the verses before with what follows. The clear victory of the Son calls for a response. Once kings were in rebellion but now there is hope!
He does respond to wise steps of faith. When we heed the warning, we run to Him for forgiveness and safety. Our faith is intimate and personal. It opens the door for joyful service and worship.
Rejoice today in the love and mercy of the King of this universe!
Be encouraged,
Pastor Rick
