When nations conspire against God's people--what does God do?

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!

   So, yesterday in Psalms 2:1-3 we read about the nations conspiring against God's people.  David had just taken Jerusalem and the enemies were camped in the valley.  So what does God think or do?
   Psalms 2:4-6  The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the LORD scoffs at them.  Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.
  Okay, first, the one enthroned in heaven-- this is God and with a word or look HE can destroy His enemies.  HE, GOD, is not an earthly king that can be overthrown. So what does He do?  Laughs!  Laughs at what?  Maybe their ignorance, their refusal to acknowledge a living God, but a lot about their vain attempts to overcome God's people, HIS people, not recognizing HIS power.
  He scoffs or jeers at them. What can they do?  In their eyes they want to defeat David, but they do not see the complete picture. God has placed HIS King on Zion, the Holy Hill.   All the opposition cannot change what God has placed, in this case, David in Jerusalem.
   These are lessons we need to remember as we travel through this world that now calls evil good.  Take heart my friends, God is still in control.
   Often we look at the world and worry.  We need to be as David when he was in tune with God == go forth knowing that God is with us and will carry us through.  Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
