The Lord Sits on His Throne

 The Lord Sits on His Throne

Psalms 2:1-6 (ESV) 

1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, againstthe LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 

4He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 (ESV) 

13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if mypeople who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Today is a real Psalms 2 day. The nations have raged and the rulers of the earth have plotted against the Lord, but the Lord sits in heaven and laughs! It’s is a great victory for righteousness that many of God’s people won in the election, but we need to not forget 2 Chronicles 7:14. Now we need to pray in earnest that all of God’s people humble themselves and pray so that the Lord can complete the healing of our land. Today we are thankful for a great victory, but the work of cleaning out the evil from our land has just begun. We need to seek His face and all of us need to turn from our wicked ways. Evil will not go quietly into the night, so we must be Ephesians 6 type warriors and keep praying and keep working to hold the evil doers accountable.

 

I’m so thankful that the Lord is sitting on the throne and that He has given us one more chance to heal our nation. And now is truly a time for healing and reconciliation. There have been many people caught up in the evils of our age; child trafficking,j abortion, drug addiction, economic hardship, etc. We need to pray for them and bring the message of hope and healing to them. “We the people…” means all the people of Americas. Let us pray that the gospel of peace will reach every heart that is troubled today so that we can all rejoice together at what the Lord has done.
