• Psa 2:1 -> “Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate on a vain thing?”.

Many people think that they can worship, praise and serve the Creator as they desire. Nonetheless, see what the Holy Scripture says:

• Psa 2:11 -> “Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.”.

Praise isn’t for amusement, but for edification:
• Eph 5:18,19 -> “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”.
• Col 3:16 -> “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”.

See that the worship and praise aim to fill up with the Holy Spirit, making Jesus’ Word dwell in us richly in all wisdom.

The Holy Scripture is clear:

• Psa 2:12 -> “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled in but a little time. Blessed are all who put their trust in Him.”.

It comes the question: “How can we kiss the Son?

• Pro 24:26 -> “He shall kiss the lips that return right words.”.

So, have a good day keeping His bonds of love (Hosea 11:4). Don’t follow the advice of the kings of the Earth:

• Psa 2:3 -> “Let us break their bands in two and cast away their cords from us.”.

For most difficult that it is the relationship, stay firm in Jesus and His grace, always manifesting the Truth, even if this hurts someone. If we eschew of all pain and defiance, never our character will be molded.
