Growing in the Psalms

Psalm 2

This psalm is written by King David and it describes the rebellion of the nations and the coming of Jesus to be King forever.

The first part talks about nations turning against the Lord and His people, which is true in the world today. Because of people's pride and hunger for power, they turned away from God, seeking to do their own things, be their own gods, sometimes going against God's will. But God laughs at their confused thoughts, like a father laughing at his children who think they can outrun or over power him when they are so small and weak in comparison to Him.

God knows our abilities and powers, and He knows that they are given to us by Him and He could take away all these talents and abilities. Imagine God taking away your talents, be it intelligence, music, sports, looks.... imagine one day, i cant sing, or dance, or look ugly.........

Sounds very sad ah? But no worries, because God said that He has chosen you as His daughter. He will give you an inheritance, and He will give you the power to overcome the trials in life. We just have to acknowledge that it is God who gives all these power and talents.

So really, let's always go back to the Lord for comfort, guidance, chosing Him as the King of our lives.. =)

"God, You know my ability and power. I cannot overrun or overpower You. And i acknowledge that all i have, You have given them to me, and You can take them back anytime. God, forgive me if there's any pride in myself. Help me today to humble myself and submit to Your Kingship. Please be King of my life everyday, guiding me, providing for me and empowering me. In Jesus' name, Amen."
