If you appreciate this work, consider supporting it - https://www.patreon.com/seekgodtogether Today we will read Psalm 2:1-3 and verse 12. They say, “Why do the nations rebel and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his Anointed One: ‘Let us tear off their chains and free ourselves from their restraints.’ Kiss the Son or He will be angry and you will perish in your rebellion for His anger may ignite at any moment. All those who take refuge in Him are happy.” There’s a lot here. And of course with our limited time together we’ll never plumb the depths. But so it is with any scripture. A thousand lifetimes wouldn’t be sufficient to fully grasp all God seeks to communicate to us. That’s not even the goal. We’re not here to understand, but rather to behold and worship. And so we press on. There is the Lord, and there is His Anointed One. This One is special and in charge. This one receives worship. This One is the Son of God. This One is king. And there are many, particularly those who are important rulers, and in charge, that don’t like the idea of having anyone tell them what to do. And so they rebel. “Let us free ourselves” they say. It’s not so much that they want to do bad stuff. But rather that they don’t want to submit to anyone. Not to God, and certainly not to His Son. But God and the Anointed One will have none of that. They are not passive, inattentive, or ignorant. They do not overlook the rebellion. Ultimately all rebellion will be crushed. And so there are only two paths forward: the first is to vainly seek to throw off the restraints of the Creator. An impossible and foolish task which will inevitably be met with God’s ire. The second is to pay homage - to literally kiss the Son. To worship. To adore. We do not have a listless God but rather an energetic one. It is interesting that to kiss Him is not to be subservient, or to become enslaved. Rather it is to take refuge in Him, to be protected. And most amazing is the last line of this psalm. Those who do so, are happy. Do you want to be happy? “God, I love You. And I love Your Son. I kiss you with my words, my thoughts, and my actions. I take refuge in You. And I adore You. I go to You to be happy.”
