God Showered Me With His Love, Would You Like Psalm 2?

I have been convicted lately to pen down what I have learnt from the things I have learnt from reading psalms. I’m currently reading psalms 7 and it would take me psalm time to blog about the 6 other psalms as I’m currently rushing my projects. Though I’m in the midst of being really busy, I have made it a point to spend time even more time with God. I was really encourage that by spending more time with God, I felt good as well as being more energetic than before and I was able to be on task in whatever I was doing.

Moving on to psalm 2, this psalm was probably referring to Jesus. As I was reading this psalm from the student bible, it was mentioned that the Anointed One in v2b most probably meant “king”. The Hebrew word for it is masiah, which became Messiah and it is translated in Greek as Christos or Christ. Wow, I thought that was quite a couple of remarkable translations for that word.

But on a personal level, psalm 2 reminded me of God being my heavenly Father. In v7, God said,” You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” The reason why I have all that I have now (Shelter, food, clothes, friends etc.) is because God was willing to bless me with it for He loves me. God wants to have a relationship with us, and he showed his ultimate love for us by giving us His Son, Jesus Christ. For we are His children and that is the reason why we can ask Him for things. This psalm is also an encouragement to us that if we continue to believe in Him, the nation would be given to us. It just takes the first step of acknowledging God as our heavenly Father to see a miracle happen around us.

I’m thankful that even though I’m currently rushing through my marketing project as of this moment, I have the freedom of seeking refuge in Him whenever I’m worn out. Living by faith is not easy as seen by the psalmists; however, if we push on and continue to draw close to Him, we would see the breakthrough we have been waiting for.

Our heavenly Father loves us so much however, many of us fail to understand or experience his loving kindness. The word ‘love’ has been so often misused as of today’s context. It is hard to experience God’ love because of how the word ‘love’ has been portrayed by the world. God is really crazy in love over you and He really wants to spend His time with you. Every single moment with you is precious to Him.

So would you draw near Him as of today?
