Military Families Perusing The Psalms For: Psalm 2
Psalm 2 :1-12
Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand against the Lord. The rulers of the earth gather together against his anointed king. 3 "Let us break free from their chains," they say. "Let us throw off their ropes." 4 The One who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans. 5 When he is angry, he warns them. When his anger blazes out, he terrifies them. 6 He says to them, "I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion." 7 I will announce what the Lord has promised. He said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father. 8 Ask me, and I will give the nations to you. All nations on earth will belong to you. 9 You will rule them with an iron rod. You will break them to pieces like clay pots." 10 Kings, be wise! Rulers of the earth, be warned! 11 Serve the Lord and have respect for him. Serve him with joy and trembling. 12 Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.

P-Purpose-Truth
As a person in the military or in a military family or a friend of someone in the military, what truth, what purposes of God do I see in this Psalm for me and my military warrior?
12 Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.
MY INSIGHTS:
- We know as Military Families that obedience is necessary in the military because it can save your life. Doing what you want when you want it and not following a uniform tactical code can be disastrous in the military line of work.
- I mean if you had a bad attitude day and did not want to follow orders, not only would you take down yourself by not following commands but also many other people. Just the same as our life with God, God has set forth His way for us, to protect us and His Word is a measure of safety for us to live by.
- Completely is a key word here.
- We need to take God at His Word, do what it says without any rationalization.
- P-Promise
What is God promising my military family/friend in this Psalm? What promise can I hold on to this week?
7 I will announce what the Lord has promised. He said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father. 8 Ask me, and I will give the nations to you. All nations on earth will belong to you.
- He promises us His all! His heart towards us is Huge!
- He is our Father and He will take care of us in every and any situation!
- We need to ask Him first when we have a need
P-Praise
What does God show me in this psalm about praising Him?
8 Ask me, and I will give the nations to you. All nations on earth will belong to you.
MY INSIGHTS:
- Lord we praise you that all the nations on earth will belong to you.
- We Praise You, You are the owner of this world. You are the creator.
- We praise you that you are able to take care of that which you have made.
- We praise you that You Hold The World In Your Hands!
P-Prayer
What verse can I use as a prayer for my military family/friend this week?
1Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand against the Lord. The rulers of the earth gather together against his anointed king. 3 "Let us break free from their chains," they say. "Let us throw off their ropes." 4 The One who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans.
MY INSIGHTS:
- Lord, Nations plan evil against us and our warriors are the object of that evil. I pray that you would render their plans useless.
- No plans will survive Your purposes! I pray that every good purpose will be accomplished in the life of my warrior. Help my warrior break free from any chains, any ropes the enemy wants to burden my warrior with!
P-BE….Just Do it
As a part or head of a military family, which verse helps me to be better, to act better, to trust God the best this week? Which verse can I use to shape my attitudes?
10 Kings, be wise! Rulers of the earth, be warned! 11 Serve the Lord and have respect for him. Serve him with joy and trembling.
MY INSIGHTS:
- Respect is a really good attitude to develop in your heart. You can respect with your head while you disrespect with your heart. You will act better when you follow after God's wisdom with a heart of respect.
- When you are being found submissive to His ways, respecting Him because of Who He is. Respect out of a heart of respect does lend to Joy. You can have Joy even in the hardest of times if your respect is pure, from the heart, which leads to good choices and strength of character. BE wise, Serve God from the heart out of a heart of respect. Be Joyful and respectful.
- How can we as military and military families have attitudes that reflect respect, willessness and joy? We need to be constantly checking our heart attitudes? How long has it been since you had an attitude check? Respect X 2! Respect goes both ways. God values us, He loves us with all His heart and there is no good thing He will withhold from us. We must respect Him from an undivided heart. We must check our attitudes to make sure we have a healthy esteem for God!
ATTITUDE CHECK RESPECT x 2!
