(Psalms 2:12) “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry”
The goodness of God is a distinctiveness I am learning to love the more I live. To think of His supremacy, there is none greater than Him, when He speaks the heavens shake and yet when I think on Him, goodness comes to mind. This morning my thoughts are with God’s goodness toward me. It may seem somewhat selfish, forgive me! Nevertheless this morning I will thank my God and Father for His goodness, His glorious mercy and grace and above all else for His glorious Son, my Splendid Saviour, the only Saviour that equips a man with a voice whereby they can cry “ABBA FATHER” – “my Father”! All praise and honour belongs to our King, the King of kings, the only One who has it in His power to present us to His Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Triune Godhead, without His sacrifice, none of us would sit with any similar thought as we ponder the goodness of God. THANK YOU FATHER FOR YOUR GOODNESS! I pen these words to say I am thankful and I love you for it! Lord Jesus words cannot describe how thankful I am for your selfless sacrifice, THANK YOU!
Be warned all you kings and rulers of the earth, what will you do with Gods goodness? What will you do with His Son’s sacrifice for sin? Do you reason like a madman and believe you will be accepted on the basis of your own efforts, etc. If so, you will be wrong and you have been warned! - “Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” (Psalms 2:10-12)
(Isaiah 51:5) “On mine arm shall they trust.”
“In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone! There is no getting at our God sometimes because of the multitude of our friends; but when a man is so poor, so friendless, so helpless that he has nowhere else to turn, he flies into his Father’s arms, and is blessedly clasped therein! When he is burdened with troubles so pressing and so peculiar, that he cannot tell them to any but his God, he may be thankful for them; for he will learn more of his Lord then than at any other time. Oh, tempest-tossed believer, it is a happy trouble that drives thee to thy Father! Now that thou hast only thy God to trust to, see that thou puttest thy full confidence in him. Dishonour not thy Lord and Master by unworthy doubts and fears; but be strong in faith, giving glory to God. Show the world that thy God is worth ten thousand worlds to thee. Show rich men how rich thou art in thy poverty when the Lord God is thy helper. Show the strong man how strong thou art in thy weakness when underneath thee are the everlasting arms. Now is the time for feats of faith and valiant exploits. Be strong and very courageous, and the Lord thy God shall certainly, as surely as he built the heavens and the earth, glorify himself in thy weakness, and magnify his might in the midst of thy distress. The grandeur of the arch of heaven would be spoiled if the sky were supported by a single visible column, and your faith would lose its glory if it rested on anything discernible by the carnal eye. May the Holy Spirit give you to rest in Jesus this closing day of the month.” (C.H.Spurgeon)
Thank you for your goodness, great Jehovah Father God, and for “saving such a wretch like me”.
