May 3, 2016: SOAP #2343: 2Samuel 7; 1Chronicles 17; Psalm 2; Matthew 20

Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 2:1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. 3 “Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.” 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

Observation: Nations, people groups, kings, and rulers may all gather together against God. They would throw off His bands. They say, “Who does He think He is to try to control us!” They may gather all their strength. They may combine all their knowledge. So, how does God handle such opposition? He laughs. They are no threat to Him!

Application: God deserves my greatest respect.   I respect Him by listening to His voice. I respect Him by obeying Him. Any opposition I face is not a bother to God and not worthy of my worry.

Prayer:    Heavenly Father, there is nothing on earth to measure your might or your wisdom. I am amazed that One so great is mindful of me and works all things together for my good! Amen
