Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:12 – This psalm puts power as the world knows it into the right view. All the nations of the world could gather all their forces to unite together against God in the most epic battle this world has ever witnessed. They could use all their weapons, all their soldiers, all their technologies, and all their resources in this war against God. And what do we learn from scripture is the Lord’s response? Laughter. For His power is so vastly greater than anything the world could muster, the Lord sees His opposition as a pointless effort that couldn’t even cause Him to flinch. While laughter is His first response, it’s not the Lord’s only response to such rejection of Him. His wrath can be quickly fueled and the result of opposing the Lord is death. So let’s listen carefully and obey the words of the psalmist in the chapter, “Kiss the Son.” What that means is to fully acknowledge the Lord’s power and submit to His as your Lord. Turn away from your turning away from the Lord. Blessings are being promised to all who choose to run to the Lord for shelter versus running to Him for war. See that either way your direction is towards the Lord. You could be coming at Him with weapons loaded, shields up, and hatred for Him fueling your actions. Or you could approach Him humbly, dropping the shield, and letting His love fuel your steps. Don’t let this be a choice you wait till “tomorrow” to make. Today choose to either submit to the Lord or choose to accept your fate as an opposer to the Almighty. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2957
