Psalms 2

If you didn't see my post yesterday, I have started reading a Psalm a day.  Today I will be talking a bit about Psalms 2 and what I get out of it.  First of all, you should probably read Psalms two.  I would type it out, but the part we are focusing on today is longer than yesterday. Second, this passage wasn't to fun to write about, so forgive me about the shorter post today.  Let's get started, shall we?

   Psalms 2:10-11. It is a wise thing to fear our God.  So many Christians today go their whole lives without ever fearing God.  What? you say, I thought we were supposed to love our loving God.  Well, yes He is loving, and yes we are called to love Him.  But we should also realize that He is the ultimate ruler of the universe!  Psalms 2:10-11 say, "Be wise and warned, rulers of the earth, serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling."  Earlier in this passage, the author was speaking about ho the earths rulers wer acting in rage against Him.  This verse says "Serve with fear and rejoice with trembling."  Hmm... what could that mean.  Well I think it could mean two things

1.  We are to be afraid of God and the things He could do to us and only praise Him in the fear that He will hurt us.

2. We understand that He is the ruler over everything and has power, but He is also our creator and we should love AND respect Him.

I believe the answer is number two.  God has told us to be respectful of his power and judgement.  He is the Just Judge!  So keep these things in mind, sister of Christ, throughout this week.  God is the one who gave you life, but he also has the power to take it away.
