To this Kg He said, You are my Son; today I have become your Far. sk me, I ill make nations your heritance, ends earth your possession. (Psalm 2:4, 6-8, NIV adapted)

3 LED-IN DEVOTIONL REDIN: Hear Psalm 2: Why do nations conspire peoples plot va The kgs earth take ir st rulers gar toger agast LORD agast his noted One. Let us break ir chas, y say, thro f ir fetters. The One enthroned heaven laughs; Lord scfs at m. Then he rebukes m his anger terrifies m his rath, sayg, I have sted my Kg on Zion, my holy hill. Son od I ill proclaim decree LORD: He said to me, You are my Son; today I have become your Far. sk me, I ill make nations your heritance, ends earth your possession. You ill rule m ith an iron scepter; you ill dash m to pieces like pottery. Therefore, you kgs, be ise; be arned, you rulers earth. Serve LORD ith fear rejoice ith tremblg. Kiss Son, lest he be angry you be destroyed your ay, for his rath can flare up a moment. lessed are ho take refuge him. (NIV) Psalm 2 is anor royal psalm. It as origy ritten about an earthly kg, but its ultimate fulfillment is Ultimate Kg, Messiah. The openg verses pat a soberg picture. Image most poerful forces on earth combg ir resources toard just one goal: destroyg od s people.

4 ecause many us live a stable country that guarantees religious freedom makes reasonable efforts to protect us from violence, e sometimes have trouble identifyg ith psalms like Psalm 2. We are not threatened ith violent persecution for our beliefs. No enemy armies are massg at our border. ut never forget that Satan is constantly, completely opposed to od, His purposes, His people. He is especiy opposed to Jesus Christ, od s Son noted One. Satan enlists those he fluences this constant, determed opposition. Sometimes his opposition is violent, eir through military confrontation or through persecution. When necessary, his opposition is more subtle, takg form tellectual, cultural, social pressure. ut her his methods are overt or hidden, his goal is alays same: destruction od s people His plans. So hat is od s response to threat Satan his gared forces He laughs! He makes fun m! He ridicules m! He s not frightened, He s amused! Then He terrifies m by speakg His burng fury: I have sted MY KIN on His holy throne! HE is complete control! Immediately Messiah Himself speaks up, vv.7-9, talks about His station by od. He said to me, You are my Son; today I have become your Far. (v.7) The Kg that od has enthroned is not just His Chosen One. It is His on Son. This is not first time od has expressed His fierce love for His on child. Earlier Old Testament, He spoke people Israel as His firstborn son. od sent Moses, a loly shepherd from backside desert, to most poerful ruler on earth. He came demg that Pharaoh give up people Israel, his massive slave-labor force. od s structions to Moses ere this: Say to Pharaoh, This is hat LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son Let my son go. (Exodus 4:22-23, NIV) efore confrontation as over, Egypt s first-born sons lay dead, od s firstborn son as free. od s miraculous care for His first-born contued as y spent 40 years a vast barren desert, n faced task conquerg occupied Canaan. Moses comforted Israel ith se ords: Do not be terrified The LORD your od, ho is gog before you, ill fight for you, as he did for you Egypt, before your very eyes, desert. There you sa ho LORD your od carried you, as a far carries his son, ay you ent until you reached this place. (Deuteronomy 1:29-31, NIV)

5 Later, after y ere settled ir on l, od gave m David as ir kg, a man after His on heart. Notice ho od describes His love for David, even his frailty: My faithful love ill be ith him He ill c out to me, You are my Far I ill appot him my firstborn, most exalted kgs earth. I ill mata my love to him forever, my covenant ith him ill never fail. I ill establish his le forever, his throne as long as heavens endure. (Psalm 89:24, 26-29, NIV) thous years later, Jesus Christ came, not only as promised Son David, but as only-begotten Son od. He is Kg spoken here Psalm 2. od has appoted Him sovereign, eternal ruler universe. No force heaven or earth, seen or unseen, can chenge His poer authority. lmighty od loves Him ith burng, unquenchable love a Far for His only child. He is our Kg, no forever. In Him, e are bold, confident, secure face every threat, every hardship, every uncertaty. Far, You are sovereign over reality. You speak, it is so. Why do e hesitate to trust You Why are e ever afraid 2011, 2012 by Ken ible
