Psalms 2:4 "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."
I know that for the Christian in today's society we must all be concerned. The world we live in here in the twenty-first century is a horrible one. Christians have fought to get people elected to change the laws of America in an attempt to make the world a better place to live, only to loose to the evil of the world. It seems that the battle cannot be won no matter what we as believers do. We are forced to live with the evils of abortion and gay marriage as well as so many other evils. It seems that the entire world is against the churches and Christians in general. It seems the hate for us is getting to be more than we can bear. It seems as though we are reaching the point of defeat and surrender to Satan and the world government. Well dear Christian let me assure you that God is still sovereign and still sitting on His blessed throne. God is not defeated and will never be. Please be assured that God is still in control of this world and its governments. We may not always understand what God is doing, but please be assured He does know. The world and its commander (Satan) thinks they are defeating God and all He stands far, but there is no defeat and never will be. Have you ever heard of the old saying, "give them a little rope and they will hang themselves"; well that is exactly what God is doing. Folks, our great God is sovereign over all the world and even over all His creation, and believe me He is going to win the battle. The Psalmist wrote in verse 4 " He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh..." at the ignorance of man in thinking they will ever defeat Him. They can pass all the bills they want, kill all the unborn their hearts desire, and allow all the gays to marry, but be assured, they have won nothing. They did not win when they crucified Christ and they will not win by killing the unborn. Those that crucified Christ will pay account to God and those who support the evil of today will also pay account to our Sovereign Master. While they think they are winning God is laughing at them. He said in verse 2 " The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD..." that is while He is laughing at them. Believer lat us remember when they sought to crucify our Lord Jesus Christ; "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;" Matthew 27:1 The world has always been against the Lord and those who stood with Him. Believes have died for the Lord and His churches. We need to understand that the Lord did not set this world up for us and our victory, all that was lost in the fall, however one blessed day Christ will for the last time take this world away from Satan and evil. God in all His sovereign being has promised that judgment day is coming. Psalms 2:5 "Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." The tribulation period and hells design is to punish all the evil of this world with Gods wrath. Do not worry dear believer, God still reigns from His throne and laughs at them. We ought to cry for them and pray for them because the wrath waiting for them is more than they can bear. We may suffer the pains of the world but our blessed day is soon coming. A little suffering today is an eternity of glory with the Lord. No believer, we will not win this world back and we will continue to loose more and more, but let us all understand God is taking care of us. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
