Psalm 2 - Praying God's Word


Please read Psalm 2.
www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/psa/2/1/s_480001
Meditate on verses 11-12.

Worship the LORD with reverence and rejoice with trembling. 
Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish
 in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Psalm 2 is a Messianic psalm.  In fact, Jesus is speaking in verse 7:
“I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’”

Notice the references to Christ: Anointed (v. 2), King (v. 6), and Son (v. 7, 12).  Observe the contrasts between the kings of the earth and the LORD’s King. The LORD laughs and scoffs at earthly kings plotting against Him (vs. 1-4). 
Take comfort from this psalm. The world around you may be in an uproar, and the earthly kings and rulers may think they are in charge, but God has already enthroned King Jesus on His holy mountain (v. 6).
Use Psalm 2:10-12 to pray and worship the LORD as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let _______ and me show discernment and pay attention to Your warning.
We worship You with reverence and rejoice with trembling. 
We give homage to You, Jesus.  We do not want You to become angry with us. 
Do not let us perish in the way of Your wrath that will soon be kindled.
Bless us as we take refuge in You.
In Your name, Jesus~”
