This is the day.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Thinking again about being blessed, we find another reason that people are blessed in Psalm 2. Those people who are truly blessed, have put their trust in God's Son.
Often we hear some of the "old timers" say, "God has really blessed me." They are often talking about their measure of good health, or the fact that they have so many things around them that they have hoarded and stored up over the years, sometimes they are speaking of the ammount of money they have in the bank. Looking at their lives, and their attitudes, though, often reveals a contradiction. They have no real testimony of having given their hearts and lives to God. They don't seem to have a personal relationship with God. They change the subject when you ask them if they are saved, or give you the famous "I hope so." This is not only older people, but extends to a great majority of people today. They tell me God is blessing them, but they don't even know Him. Psalm 2 tells us that all those who put their trust in the Saviour are blessed. Prosperity is not a measure of blessing. Many heathen kings and cheiftans have been very rich, but did not know God. The key to being blessed is putting your trust in God's Son.

Psalm 2:12 (Blessings through the Son.)
I. Have a personal relationship with Him. (At least in our Western Culture, you don't kiss someone you don't know.)
II. Fear Him. (The warning in this passage is to try to keep from experiencing the Son's anger.)
III. Put your trust in Him. (This is the way to accomplish the other two points. When you completely put your Trust in the Son of God, you become God's Son, thereby establishing a personal relationship with him, and no longer have face His fierce wrath.)
