1) What does it say?
2) What does it mean?
Because this chapter is so long, I'm going to mainly focus on verses 8, 11 and 12. Verse 8 says, "Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession." Verse 11 and 12 say, "Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. 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."
3) What does it mean to me?
Verse 8 means that there is nothing you could ask God for that is too big. Whatever it is you ask him for he can give you. Does that mean that God is a magic genie and that he is only in our lives to grant our wishes? Of course not. A big lesson God has taught me in my life is that he has a plan, and he always has your back and at times it's your unanswered prayers that you end up being most thankful for.
Verses 11 and 12 tell us to fear the LORD, but a good fear. He is all knowing, and all powerful, the beginning and the end and the only person in the whole world that no matter what will always be there and cannot be taken away from you. It also tells us that your way is not the way and that his way will bless you.
