Good Morning Friends,
“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.” (Psalm 2:10-12)
God offers two choices to all people:
·
Love Him, worship Him, and serve
Him. Do that and blessings flow to
you. He provides refuge and help to
them.
·
Stand against the Lord or ignore
Him. Do that and anger, wrath, and
destruction will result.
What a choice! So, why then do people choose to ignore or
stand against Him? Why do the nations
conspire against Him? Why do the peoples
plot to resist Him?
I suppose they can’t stand anyone on the
throne, except themselves! So, many make
their feeble efforts to dethrone God. It
seems they succeed for a short time, at least in their own lives, but hear
God’s response to their efforts: “The
One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.” (Psalm 2:4)
The efforts of people to refuse Him grieve
God, because He desires to be loved by all people, but they do not create
anxiety in Him or cause Him to worry about losing His position!
God is on His throne. He always has been. He always will be. Love Him, worship Him, serve Him. Not to do so would be to our own distress,
not His!
His, by Grace,
Steve
