“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: ‘Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.’” Psalm 2:4-6
Though the peoples of this world and their rulers rebel against the LORD God and seek to keep Him from ruling over them, He laughs at mankind’s futile attempts to escape His rule and judgment. The true Lord has anointed His own King over His church, His only-begotten Son, who is now establishing an eternal kingdom made up of all who trust in Him for salvation. This kingdom and rule is eternal and will supplant all the kingdoms of this world (cf. Dan. 2:44).
Have mercy upon me, O God, and grant that I cease rebelling against You and place my faith in Your Son that I might receive Your pardon and forgiveness and a place in Your everlasting kingdom. Amen.
