10. GODS HIGH WAY

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”  (Psalm 2:4) 

   

Gods’ response to those that rage and cause commotion over His creation is just the opposite of theirs. No frenzy, no disorder, His plan is absolute, and nothing can interfere or change it. It will happen as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.  

   

God is on His throne watching. He sees these vain attempts to ridicule and cause division. God sits as they run here and there with their puffed-up plans of discord which will never work or happen.  

   

Gods’ love, desires all to be free of sin and guilt. Even those that rage against Him and His people. However, the plan of God never changes. Those that scorn, ridicule, and refuse Gods' grace through His SON will in the end find themselves unapproved, destined to an eternity of anguish in the reality of Hell.  

    

He sitteth in the heavens,   

High upon His throne.  

Watching over His creation.  

He listens to people moan.  

   

Thinking they have a better way.  

They walk around like fools.  

Trying to change the plan of God,   

Making their own rules.  

   

But how can you improve,   

On what God has planned, ahead?  

He will laugh at their insanity.  

In Hell they will make their bed.  

   

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7) 

9. Keep Me Tethered

 

“Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”  Psalm 2:3 

 

Breaking away from the lies of the deceiver and trusting the truth of God’s Word will bring quick and everlasting relief. Only the fool holds on to a lie and they that do are deceived. When the believer is persuaded to follow something which is perpetuated by a lie they are also deceived and become unproductive in their witness. 

 
Man’s desire to be independent of GOD’s rule over himself is born out of an ungrateful heart for the love GOD has for him. Satan is the father of this lie! When we are led by God’s Word in “all” matters we are then able to be successful in our call to be witnesses to this lost and dyeing world. 

 

Man proved to himself in the Garden his lack of self-control when he ate the fruit of the tree which was forbidden. If man cannot control himself, is it not logical to receive help from the One who loves and cares, the One that knows every hair on their head?   

 

Just as GOD placed a tree in the Garden of Eden, He also placed a tree in a garden on Calvary’s Hill where His SON, GOD incarnate, JESUS was crucified!  As for me I would much rather live for the One that has shown so much love for me than the one that has proven himself defeated!   

 

Keep me tethered with the cord of life, 

As the baby in the womb. 

Feed me with Your undying love. 

You expressed from the tomb!  
 

 Put Your arms of love around me, 

And link me with this cord. 

Allow us now and forever, 

To be of one accord. 

 

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17) 

 

 

8. WRETCHED FOOLS

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,” Psalm 2:2 

 

Wretched and rebellious are those that fight against GOD! In their stubbornness they plot against GOD and His perfect plan. In their stupidity they think they will be victorious but just as they are set against the ALMIGHTY their defeat is set for their future!   

 

They band together in their plotting taking counsel with one another around the table of Satan where you can hear the hissing of their speech. They are caught up in their intense hatred and refuse to turn from their wickedness. Obstinate fools they are that spread havoc among those that love righteousness.   

 

Only fools set themselves against JEHOVAH! 

Only fools will perish in their plan.  

Convinced by Satan that they are mighty.  

While GOD is omnipotent, they are just man.  
 
They think by alliance they can subdue the ALMIGHTY! 

Through their understanding they will descend.

They will find themselves with their master.  

In a pit filled with fire and their pain will never end.  
 

Fear not beloved of the LORD, they cannot hurt you, your future is sure, your path is paved, CHRIST has made the way.  You are set! 

 

“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”  2 Timothy 1:10-12 

 

7. TRUE LOVE WAYS

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?”  Psalm 2:1  

  

Those that truly love Christ, love Him altogether, but those who don’t rage against Him!  Those that straddle the fence are no different than those that rage.   

 
There is an intense hate against Christ by Satan and by those that follow him. But those that choose to follow Christ express worshipful love toward Him.  

  

Isn't it strange how one mention of Christ in mixed company can bring such division? Why do some frizzle up and become so outraged as if it was a personal attack?  Why would anyone rebel against the One that loves them enough to die for them?   

  

Some say we are using CHRIST as a crutch because we are weak, and this is the only truth they speak. Without JESUS, I am weak, lame, and unable to walk. With Him, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13)  

 
The wise understand their weakness,  
And follow the One that is “The Way”.   
But the foolish follow Satan,  

Not knowing they've become his prey.  
  

Vain thoughts fill the minds of the wicked. 

They rage against the Almighty God. 

One day their ruckus will end. 

They’ll face the lightening of His rod. 

  

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”. (Ecclesiastes 12:14)
