We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is the truth which is assailed in any age which tests our fidelity. It is to confess we are called, not merely to profess. If I profess, with the loudest voice and the clearest exposition, every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christianity. Where the battle rages the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battle-field besides is mere flight and disgrace to him if he flinches at that one point (Fritz - German Monk and contemporary with Martin Luther).

Far from inviting us to play around as much as possible and as close to the fire as we can without getting burned, [the Bible] makes it clear that a sincere Christian will cultivate the highest moral and sexual purity, as essential to his or her worship of God [1 Thes. 4:3-5; Eph. 5:3-5] (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

2:1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?

2:2 The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed,{The word “anointed” is the same as the word for “Messiah” or “Christ”} saying,

2:3 “Let’s break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us.”

2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

2:5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:

2:6 “Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion.”

2:7 I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

2:10 Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

2:11 Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
