Morning Direction From Scripture 5-24-16
I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 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. Psalm 2:7-12
We don’t often think of Jesus as being angry. This Psalm describes the anger of the Son. Can you think of times Jesus was angry? What does that look like? What will it look like in the future?

What do think the psalmist means when he says, “Kiss his son”?

How should kings be wise?
Why should they be wise?

Ferocious Pt. 4
I am smack dab in the middle of a minister’s convention just now and so I am taking this opportunity to repost a series I wrote several years ago on the topic of love. It is called…

This passage refers to Jesus. Has Jesus done this yet? If not when will it happen and what do you think that will look like?

Evening Meditation 5-22-16
Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.” Psalm 2:1-6
Is there any part of verses 4-6 that is currently happening or has happened or is this yet to come? What does that do to your heart?

What do you see as the greatest example of the people of Earth trying to “throw off the shackles” of the Lord?
Is this different than in ages past?

Ferocious Pt. 3
As we launch into our meditations on the Psalms I am filling out my thoughts regarding our last meditations concerning I Corinthians 13.
I wrote a series called Ferocious several years ago on the love chapter and I am choosing this moment to repost those thoughts. I am actually away at a Ministers convention this week not in the Netherlands, but the thoughts are the same wherever I may be in the world.
