Day 2

http://bible.us/Ps2.2.NIV The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,

All That Really Matters

Psalm 2 presents us with an interesting contrast. It depicts the nations of the earth in a huge huddle. They pool their powers and passions, their agendas and ambitions, their ingenuity and intellects...all for the purpose of overcoming and overriding the Lord's purposes. This unholy horde raises their fists and voices, proclaiming themselves as the keepers of all that's true. They preach it from the most hallowed halls of academia, in the most influential newspapers, magazines, and publications. And pity the person who doesn't blindly bow down to them. But on the other side of their assault sits God, who responds by laughing!

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. (Psalm 2:4 NKJV)

God is in control. No matter how intently man plots against Him, or how determined he is to reverse His holy agenda, God will not and cannot lose the least measure of control over everything. He will do His good pleasure, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters-not the will of man, but the pleasure of God. So it only stands to reason that if we hope to be people of substance and significance and leave a legacy that stands the test of time, then we need to get in line with what pleases God. He's always in control and will always do as He pleases. We can either align

God, help us to be those who not only know all that really matters, but those who truly live in light of it.

What does this passage reveal to me about God? God is holy. He is in control.

What does this passage reveal to me about myself..... why do I want to be on God's team?  Offs it because of what he can do for me ?   Or is it because he alone is good and my soul craves that relationship? 

Based on this, what changes do I need to make?    /I need to spend more time praising the Lord and not get so caught up in day to day

What is my prayer for today? Father please feel me with your spirit that I would live you.   Break my heart with what breaks yours and use me o draw others to you.    I know hat I don't really know what it is I ask and I am fearful when I pray this way but I want to trust you.
