WHY DO NATIONS RAGE OH LORD?

Post date: Nov 23, 2015 1:57:18 AM

“Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? 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 bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel. Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” Psalm 2:1-12

Though the nations are raging and had been raging; though people around the world and around you are raging and had been raging; though the devil and all his children, using all their wicked instruments are raging and had been raging for years unending; though you may be surrounded by people with wicked thoughts and devilish imaginations; the God you put your trust in is quite able at all times able to defend you to the optimum, He is able to deliver from all evils, and He is quite able to ensure your well-being in every location under the heavens and in every situation that may rise up against you in life. His promises will never fail; His faithfulness will never end; His loving kindness will never be taken away from you and His grace will never diminish in the lives of those who absolutely put their total trust in Him and refuse to join in the rage with the wicked.

Your personal declaration before, in times, and after the times of rage is important to what God will do in your life now and hereafter; your knowledge of the mercies of God is important at times of rage and after; your personal acceptance to bring yourself under the coverage of God through the salvation of your soul and your true repentance is important in times of rage and after; your willingness to walk in obedience to God’s words at all times is important in times of rage and after. It is good to have this in mind always that, God will never allow you to strike your feet against the stone that will result in your complete destruction; He will never hand you over to the devil to take absolute control of you, your children, spouse, health, family and finances; He will never give you over to the destructive wishes and evil imaginations and prayer of your enemies and the wicked people around you in life irrespective of their powers, their positions in any organization, and their locations under the sun. In any way that their rage and wickedness had affected you before, God said you should expect a change and a turn around.

Nations are getting angrier every day; the people, old, young and small are not spare in this spade of anger; the demons from hell and Satan are also angry and every are angry against our Lord Jesus Christ, against His anointed ones and against the righteous. Who is there to help and who is there to take away this anger? Knowledge are failing and tactics of men are not comprehensive enough; the very best and bright are missing their own ways and the poor and helpless getting more miserable, and the entire world is engrossed in this anger and rage. David gave us a solution and said he will put all his trust in the Lord God Almighty who saved his soul through grace. In Christ Jesus, the rage of the wicked against the righteous will not lead to their destruction but will lead to their glory. God said the plans and the anger of the wicked against the righteous are a waste of time and will be futile because He is laughing at those plans and will speak to them; He will distress them with time, because He had set His sons and daughter on the holy hill of Zion to fulfill all of His purpose. The Lord had said, You are His sons and daughters, today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
