Kiss The Son: Psalm 2:10-12
Present-day kings of the earth should not be thought to be heads of state. That may have been true in times past, but power is rarely in their hands now. The Hitlers, Stalins, Titos, and Sadam Husseins may have a short day, a passing flash of glory, but they are soon overthrown in today’s world climate.
The Decree Of God: Psalm 2:7-12
The blessed person is the wise one who puts his trust in the Lord. “Kiss the Son.” Receive Him as your King.
The Laughter Of God: Psalm 2:1-6
When God speaks to wicked men, they hear no voice from heaven. Rather, they experience His displeasure. He terrifies and troubles them.
The Heavens Tell: God’s Word Warns
God’s world declares God’s glory. His Word declares His mercy and grace and judgment. And we would do well to listen to the heavens that declare His glory, and His Word that warns and guides us along the way.
The Blessed Man: Psalm 1:1-6
The blessed man rests under the shadow of the wings of the Almighty. The righteousness of Christ is his hope and refuge.
The Godly Man: Psalm 1:1-2
It is significant that this book of blessed meditations, often set to music and sung, begins with a contrast between the two men who make up the whole of humanity. While there is an infinite variety in the human race, the contrasts set forth here are the only ones that matter in the end.
God’s Song
The effects of song and music, namely that of psalms and hymns, are mysterious to me, but they are not to God. This is why He Himself has given us inspired songs to sing, and it is why He has commanded that we should do so.
May We All Hallelujah
How are we to praise the LORD? When and where are we to praise Him? Who is called to praise? Psalm 150 answers all of these questions in six short verses.
