Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine 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 bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Reflection:
Why do we have outburst of anger and vain imaginations?
Who do we get counsel from when in need for any direction in our life?
How does a Creator react to a rebellious creation, does He have a right to react?
Where is this Creator placed (priority) in our day to day existence, do we give thought to Him?
When can we declare His ability to save us and who does He want to save and what is He saving us from?
What will our reaction be to our creation (children) if we were a creator (parent) when they are foolish and don't follow instructions?
Do we trust anyone or is there anyone we can look to who empowers us to love and serve others?
