Thoughts on Psalm 2

Monday, September 18th, 2006

Today, I’m taking a look at Psalm 2, part 2 of my series through Psalms.

The Psalmist starts the chapter off with a rhetorical question. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? He then speaks how the kings and rulers plot against God, and how they want to break free from God. However, he goes on to say how God laughs at their efforts, and then speaks how He has set up a King in Zion.

The Psalmist continues, with God speaking, saying how He will give this King the heathen for his inheritance, and how the king will crush the evil.

The Psalmist ends with a warning and a promise to the kings of the world, warning that if they don’t serve the Lord, and don’t respect the Son, that they will perish, while if they serve the Lord, and respect the king, they will be blessed.

Kissing. by the way, in that day and age was a way of showing honor, in more modern terms, we would say “show repsect”.

There has been much debate on who the Son/King is. Some have said that it is David, while others believe that it is Jesus. There is evidence for both statements, so we probably won’t know for sure till we get to heaven. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t practical advice and doctrine in this chapter. In fact, we can see some of this happening today.

Do we not see the kings of the earth and the other rules trying to break free from having to serve or to believe in God? The Bible is very clear on this point, that those who try to break away from God will be crushed. I’m sure that we can look at history, and see examples of nations that tried to break away from God, and in the process, were destroyed.

What about us then? Do we plot to break the bonds of serving or obeying God? Or do we serve God, and trust His Son? In simple terms, do we try to avoid obeying God when it’s not convenient? Do we serve God only when we want to? Or do we serve him all the time?

Welcome to ChristianPlace Hub!

Seems like all the other authors beat me to the introductions, but better late than never, eh? :) My name is Noah, and I live in a small village in the NH White Mountains. I enjoy Sports, Programming, and serving my God. I’ll be discussing the Bible, Devotionals, and current Christian-related events along with my Friends Billy & Victoria.

Please feel free to make comments and join in the discussions. We’d all like to hear your thoughts and views!

Thoughts on Psalm 1

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

Psalm 1 is a chapter of comparison. In the first section of the chapter, we are told about a righteous man, and how he acts, while the second section tells about the wicked man, and the consequences of being wicked.

The righteous man doesn’t follow the advice of the evil, rather, he follows what God says. It says that “in His law doth he meditate day and night”. We are supposed to read the Bible, and think about it constantly. How many of us can honestly say we think about the Bible and what God says more than just at devotions?

The Psalmist goes on to use an analogy, comparing the righteous man to a tree planted near the river. The tree brings forth fruit, and does not whither. People who study the Word of God, and who meditate on it, and who follow it do bring forth good fruit. This fruit ranges from witnessing to other people, to helping build up other Christians.

In the second part, the Psalmist details the wicked man. Their ways are like chaff, which the storm drives away; dust in the wind, lasting only a moment. Compare that to the righteous man, who’s ways last, and does not whither.

So, how many of us are righteous men, and how many of us are ungodly men? Do we read and meditate on the Bible more than just at devotions, or are we content to just do our own thing? Are we producing good fruit?

That is Polish for Hello! Anyway….Hi, I’m Victoria. I am a friend of The Admin.

I am a stable worker in a nearby stable, and I love my job[each and every bit of it]. I enjoy writing, reading, singing, poetry, music, people, church, and Youth Group. I also enjoy fooling around on the computer, figuring things out for myself, and giving people my ever so strong opinion. I love to adress today’s issues with a broad mind, and a possitive attitude. I tend to be a bit harsh, and sometimes quite annoying. I tend to lean more toward things of the future and things of the past than things of today. I am very interested in the historical, scientifical, and geological findings of the past and present that prove the Bible is truthful. I love the book of Revelation, and the prophetic books, because that’s exactly what they are; prophetic. They hold so many meanings and secrets, that we may never understand.

My dreams for the future, are to learn the Hebrew and Greek language, so that I can read the original scripts of God’s Holy Word, and translate for myself what our Saviour and Provider has written for His people.

My goals in life include being a friend to the friendless, a help to the helpless, and putting on the whole armor of God like it says in Ephesians 6:11-18 so that I can fight the evils of this world at my Saviour’s side.

Don’t let old Lucifer get ya down. He aint got powers against MY God!! ;)
