We are starting the evening with a new Psalm.

Lord, how many are my foes!
    How many rise up against me!
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.
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
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?

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father.
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
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”?
