Read Psalm 2
Why do the nations plan rebellion?
Why do people make their useless plots?
2 Their kings
revolt,
their rulers plot together against the Lord
and against the king he chose.
3 “Let us free ourselves
from their rule,” they say;
“let us throw off their control.”
4 From his throne in
heaven the Lord laughs
and mocks their feeble plans.
5 Then he warns them
in anger
and terrifies them with his fury.
6 “On Zion,a
my sacred hill,” he says,
“I have installed my king.”
7 “I will announce,”
says the king, “what the Lord has
declared.
He said to me: ‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask, and I will
give you all the nations;
the whole earth will be yours.
9 You will break them
with an iron rod;
you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.’ ”
10 Now listen to this
warning, you kings;
learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:
11 Serve the Lord with fear;
12 tremble and
bow down to him;b
or else his anger will be quickly aroused,
and you will suddenly die.
Happy are all who go to him for protection.
Think
‘From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks
their feeble plans.’ (Ps 2:4)
Worship
is about remembering that God is God – and we are not.
Pray
Spend some time in adoration – remembering that God is God –
and we are not.
