"He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 'As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.'" Psalm 2:4-6
The "them" referred to in this passage are the nations who revolt against the Davidic kingship that God sets up in the book of 2 Samuel when Samuel anoints David as king. In verses 1-3, these nations and their kings conspire against the Israelite rule and are determined to break it down. They believe this will take them out from under God's rule. However, I love this next part... "He who sits in the heavens laughs"...God laughs at them. How dare they revolt against a sovereign God! Yes, God is in control of all things and this includes the powers that be on earth. He set up the Davidic kingship with a larger plan of sending the Messiah, a savior, to the world through the house of David. The plans of these other nations and kings to disrupt this were in vain.
God is in control! God is in control of all things!! If you are saved and He watches over your way, it is a GOOD thing to know that God is in control of all things. Its when you are not saved and you decide to live in your sin or you try to use your own ways to gain salvation, that it is time to be fearful of the fact that God is in control of all things. God's people will prevail. That is His promise.
Oh, how vain it is for us to rebel against the will and plan of God. Oh, how vain I have been in my life. I have not always...let me rephrase...I DO not always seek God's will for my life. It would make things much easier for me if I did. Instead, I resist and try to obtain the disires of my own heart. However, God's will Will be done. Thank the Lord!!
