Through the Psalms–#2

I encourage you to read the entire Psalm

“Why do the nations conspire

And the peoples plot in vain?

The kings of the earth rise up

And the rulers band together

Against the LORD and his anointed, saying

‘Let us break their chains

And throw off their shackles.’”

Psalm 2:1-3

While Psalm 1 gives us a beautiful picture of one who follows the Lord and meditates on his word, Psalm 2 presents a stark contrast. In this Psalm we see the discontent and rebellion of those who refuse to serve the Lord. Our stubborn disobedience leads to our destruction. Instead of the tree flourishing by the waters, we see destruction.

Father God, squash any rebellious ways in me. Keep me reading and meditating on your word and on your glory. I long to serve you and take refuge in your grace.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
