READ: Psalm 2
“Watch Out!” That is a word of warning to keep us from hurting ourselves and being hurt by something else. We need someone to holler, “Watch out!” We all could have been saved from the consequences of some stupid decision if someone had just warned us. But then sometimes, we get warned and we ignore the warning signs.
Psalm 2 is what I call a “You better watch out” psalm. “Be warned,” the psalmist says, “You rulers of this earth. Serve the Lord with reverent fear. Submit to the royal Son or you will be destroyed.” Be very careful of turning your back on God. When governments, corporations, nations, or people rebel against God and begin to think they are smarter than God, that they are in control and that they don’t need God, that their plans are better than God’s plan—you’d better watch out. God is unimpressed with human arrogance. He laughs at those who would ignore Him. Psalm 2 is a warning to nations, governments, corporations, and people that if you continue to choose your way over God’s way, you’d better watch out. God’s way will triumph over the evil ways of man. Prayer Focus: Pray for our country, our president, our leaders, and ourselves not to forget God.
