God is in Control (Psalms 2)
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist for us to know that the world around us is falling apart. Seems like war never ends. Growing up, I remember watching 9/11 happen on tv and hearing the president talk about how we are going to find the ones responsible and make them pay. Now I’m 24 and our new president has blown ISIS up and put restrictions on North Korea. It’s a scary time to live in, because all the major nations have nuclear weapons that they can wipe out any given city, state or country they want at a push of an button. Student who graduated high school just a few months ago and went straight to military, just to get college paid for, are now face with the fact that war might just be around the corner for them. Scary times in deed, in deed scary times to live in, but also, interesting times to live in also. With this fear rising up in everyone heart and mind, how can we find peace in the middle of it all?
- 1-3 main idea on these verses is saying that the world is rising up again God and his people. The World, “Why do the nations ….. people plot in vain”. The fact is that the God of the Bible is hated by this world and christians are hated to by everyone and it’s been going on for 2000 years, and the bible backs it up and even says, “Against the Lord and his anointed”.
- 4-6 main idea is that God just looks at the nations and laughs. The reason for this laughter is because God say, “I have installed my king on Zion, my Holy Mountain.” It doesn’t say, “I will” or “I am going to”, it says, “I have”, it is done already. God is in-charge, no matter who comes to war against him and his people.
So far, what going on is that all the kings of the earth are getting together to try to destroy the creator, but the creator is saying, “I’v already won, I’m ruling everything as you all are plotting against me. I’m ruling over your own little plot that is plotted against me.”
- 7-12 main idea is that God wins the fight. He wins the war, He WINS! Because He wins, we should join him in his victory before the war is over. We should serve him with our lives.
See, the world we live in is madly in love with war. The reason is because of sin, sin enter this world, then people wanted to be like God, instead of accepting God. That’s why the devil is the devil. The devil was an Angel, but he wanted to be God. He went to war again God with ⅓ of the Angels and was cast out of heaven. We have that inner desire to be God, so we make our little thrown of success, through education, money, cars, or whatever, you name is. We all do it, but God is saying, stop trying so hard to remove God from Zion but instead, serve him from wherever you are in live. If your in education, serve him in education, if your an stocker in a grocery story then serve him as an stocker in grocery story. I served God as a bathroom cleaner and as an US Marine. “Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.”
