Psalms 2:10-12

The Call For Response.

‘Now therefore be wise, O you kings,

Be instructed you judges of the earth,

Serve YHWH with fear,

And rejoice with trembling,

Kiss the son, lest he be angry,

And you perish in the way,

For his wrath will blaze forth quickly.

Blessed are all those who put their trust in him.’

And so the call comes to us today, as it came to the men in David’s day. Let all who take authority on earth recognise their need to serve YHWH with godly fear and awe, and even in their times of relaxation remember to tremble, for they will one day have to give account to His Son. Thus they should make obeisance to the Son, and submit themselves to Him, for if there is rebellion in their hearts He will be ‘angry’, and that ‘anger’ will spill over into judgment. In contrast all those who believe on Him, and put their trust in Him, will be truly blessed.
