When the enemy seemed overpowering


Psalms 2:

A very comforting section indeed for those like me who constantly question the vices of the human mind and its resultant actions. Humans plot and plan the downfall of their fellow beings but the Saviour strengthens and glorifies the innocent  in front of the wicked.

It is wrong to believe that our own abilities can take us anywhere. It is only through His abundant guidance and gracious will that we can achieve unbelivable things in life.

1Why do the nations rage,

And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves,

And the rulers take counsel together,

Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, [saying],

3Let us break their bonds asunder,

And cast away their cords from us.

4He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:

The Lord will have them in derision.

5Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,

And vex them in his sore displeasure:

6Yet I have set my king

Upon my holy hill of Zion.

7I will tell of the decree:

Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;

This day have I begotten thee.

8Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine

inheritance,

And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;

Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:

Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11Serve Jehovah with fear,

And rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,

For his wrath will soon be kindled.

Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

Anger







Recently realised:

Misdirected anger is a sign of weakness; It is the external manifestation of suppressed expression of thought in all matters of heart and mind.
