Psalm 2 || The Lord Reigns
"Do you ever feel powerless and anxious about the state of our world? Wars, threats of wars, terrorism, corrupt national and international leaders. At times it feels like one big powder keg that could blow at any time. It can be concerning at best and panic-inducing at worst. But Psalm 2 grounds us in a truth that transcends the chaos. It's a message for both the power-hungry and the powerless: the Lord reigns."
Psalm 1 || Rooted In God’s Ways
As we delight in and meditate on God and his instructions, we are transformed, nourished, and sustained. The call to action is to set our minds and hearts on the Lord and his instruction, and the result is that we become like trees planted by streams of water. Healthy trees live long lives. They grow deep, complex root systems embedded beneath the ground surface, which helps them weather wind, storms, and droughts. They can bend and sway when the winds come without being ripped from the ground. This beautiful analogy is meant to teach us that though life brings chaos and turmoil our way, we are not uprooted because we have grown deep in the Lord.
Beholding and Becoming
In beholding God’s love, we are invited to become the beloved. In beholding God’s forgiveness, we are invited to become the forgiven. In beholding God’s mercy, we are invited to become the redeemed. In beholding God’s compassion, we are invited to become the comforted. In beholding God as Father, we are invited to become like little children. We become as we behold.
