Psalm 2: Our Refuge

The second key for the blessed life is to trust in God's king. This might seem a bit distant because politically we're a democracy with a very limited constitutional monarch - however we're meant to understand this messianically. Psalm 2 describes God's people living in an unstable and dangerous world - long before ISIS, economic turmoil, and refugee crises. This world's many conflicts ultimately stem back to this conflict: "the kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and his Anointed (messiah)". But God's kingdom will come and His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven - God's messianic king will do this: "I will tell of the decree: the LORD said to me: You are my son...ask of me and I will make the nations your heritage". He will crush all rebelluon and opposition. That's bad news for sinners like you and me - we're part of those rebellious nations and have stubborn hearts.  But here's a promise of hope for us: "Blessed are all who take refuge in Him". Jesus can be both our king and refuge because He first was crushed for our rebellion.The gospel is a message about the refuge we can find in Him!
