TOPIC: Where Do You Belong?

TEXT: PSALMS 2:1-3

Key Verse: “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us” (Psalms 2:2,3).

Tomes of heavyweight intellectual research in the arts and sciences, coupled with thousands of kilometers of manned and unmanned trips into outer space resulting in countless planetary probes over the decades have not led man to a better knowledge of God outside what the Bible teaches. As long as the motive is to challenge God and undermine the doctrine of creation, man’s scientific feats would come to naught.

All these efforts, rather than secure for man a dignifying view of God and the works of His hands, are pushing him farther away from the joys of a stable relationship with his Creator. It is the reason man, relying on his science and technology, has now succeeded in erecting a false religion characterized by wanton pleasure, demonic marital conduct (gay marriages), worship of wealth, crime, corruption in private and public lifestyles and other corrosive pursuits.

These traits show an open rebellion to the Creator: “The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us” (Psalm 2:2,3). Being enmeshed in the craze for worldly pursuits as against the desire for things above is pitching with the god of this world and therefore declaring opposition to God Almighty.

Swift judgment will come upon such persons unless they repent and turn to Jesus for help. It is He that God has appointed as Judge of all. And if the sinner does not make peace with Him, eternal wrath from which no one can deliver after death will be his lot.

“Kiss the Son (embrace Him in holiness, love Him in honour and humility), lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed (happy) are they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:12).

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 25 - 27

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Worldliness is war against God.
