Sundays are for Leadership by Psalms.  Today, Pete Blank shares a lesson from Psalm 2:10-12, which is about rulers and fear!

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;    be warned, you rulers of the earth.11 Serve the Lord with fear    and celebrate his rule with trembling.12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry    and your way will lead to your destruction,for his wrath can flare up in a moment.    Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
