Take Refuge in Him

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Genesis 3:1-4:26 ~ Matthew 2:13-3:6 ~ Psalm 2:1-12 ~ Proverbs 1:7-9

Psalm 2 speaks of the proper fear of the Lord that we must all maintain. His plans are supreme, and He rules over the kings and kingdoms of the earth.

Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Psalm 2:10-12 (NIV)

The final statement of Psalm 2 is a powerful promise that should give us great hope. We can run to God and be safe. He is our refuge.

Today, as an act of worship, place your hope and trust in the LORD. Let God be your refuge and strength. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 NIV)

"The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him." (Nahum 1:7 NIV) The context of this verse is full of amazing insight about our God.
