Do You See Their Derision?

 

Today's verse is Psalm 2:2-4

     The kings of the earth set themselves,

      And the rulers take counsel together,

      Against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

     Let us break their bands asunder,

      And cast away their cords from us.

     He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:

      The Lord shall have them in derision.

    In my country, those in power, those that have control, truly are doing as this psalm describes, and in their conceit, even when they speak truth, they lie. And as I hear such things, I want to despair, and I begin to lose hope. Yet, what is the promise of God here? First, God is on his throne, and he sees all that they do, and if you look, you too can see why he laughs, you too can see how he has them in derision. But not only this but look at what the Creator of heaven and Earth says of liars: A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall not escape. And again, A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall perish. Do you believe God? Therefore, be comforted, for as God has promised, these that seem to have power now, unless they Repent, shall not escape, but shall perish! Will you, therefore, trust him? Amen.

To God be the Glory
