But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain. Psalm 3:3, 4

Evening Meditation 5-24-16
We are starting the evening with a new Psalm.
Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
Psalm 3:1,2
Are there people in your life who are making you doubt God? What does God want you to do about them?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 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
How do you go about taking refuge in the Son of God?

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?

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?
