Psalm 2 (ESV)
1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us." 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD holds them in derision. 5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6 "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill." 7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me. "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them into pieces like a potter's vessel." 10 Now therefore , O kings, be wise; be warned O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. 12 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.
Out of this Psalm I take comfort in the last phrase, "Blessed are those who take refuge in him." The beginning of this Psalm just leads up to this phrase. If you're on God's side, who can be against you. Anyone can say what they want. They can plot and plan, but you will be blessed taking refuge with him.
The real twist though is, we have to take refuge in God. Taking refuge, is easier said then done. Especially in this day and age. We like to be visible and accessible. When we take refuge in God, we hide ourselves in him.
