Friday: Waiting for the King- Part One

Today, I will cover the first part of Psalms 2. Those of us who know the King are awaiting His Second Coming. He will return and return soon. "Ready yourselves."

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" (2:1) The heathen rage because they know not God. They imagine a vain thing, because they choose to believe the lies of Satan.

"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us." (2:2,3) This speaks of man's attempt to take down God and His people. God cares for His people and when man attacks His people it only hasten His judgment. We know the outcome.

"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." (2:4) God laughs at man's attempt to fight against Him. Those that choose to ignore God are left to their delusions.

"The shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure." (2:5) God will one day pronounce His judgment on those that have chosen to defy God. This vexation will be far worse than anything that man can devise. Our God is gracious, but He will not be so gracious to those that are against Him.

"Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion." (2:6) David knows where His God is. We need to know where we stand lest we fall. Without God, there is no hope. Man knows nothing of actual peace, and will never find it here on earth unless he seeks God and accepts Him as Savior.
