The book of Psalms Number 2

 

The book of Psalms

No. 2




1. Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 2. The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and his anointed saying, 3. "Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us."




(Book of Psalms No. 2 verses 1 to 3)




Oh God my Father when head of states conspire together to plot form against each other's subjects it is as if they are plotting against You. When rules are passed to increase taxes to suit their needs and put unnecessary pressure on the people this is also plotting against You. I therefore during this time of prayer pray for the leaders of the world:-



Oh God my Father, I pray for all the leaders of the world, so that they be clean in the way that they use their authority that has been given to them by yourself, even if they are not aware of this. Please give them the wisdom of Solomon to make the right decisions, a huge dose of Your love and mercy so that they will be merciful when applying and making new laws, and may they always consider even the spiritual and moral consequences of the legislation that is both discussed and enforced Amen.




3. He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD has them in derision. 5. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6. "I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill."


(Book of Psalms Psalm Number 2 verses 3 to 6)




Oh God my Father I imagine Your attitude when You hear us make plans that You know they will never bear fruit because You are not included in them, and how sorry You must feel when we do not include You in our lives and daily agendas Amen.




7. I will tell of the decree of the LORD; He said to me, "You are my son; today I have begotten you. 8. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.


(Book of Psalms Number 2 verses 7 to 8)


Oh God my Father as much as we refer to You with our prayers many times in request for this and for that, You would like to receive our prayers from the heart in a spirit of faith and not one of avarice in order to fulfil our needs, and wants. However, when offering our prayers to You my God and Father You always consider all our needs and always provide for us more than we could ever ask of You Amen because You see the big picture and we are limited in our perception. Thank You for being so kind loving and considerate Amen.




9. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel" 10. Now therefore, O kings be wise: be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11. serve the LORD with fear, with trembling 12. kiss his feet," or he will be angry, and you will perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. Happy are all who take refuge in him.


(Book of Psalms Number 2 verses 9 to 12)


Oh God my Father, even though there are among Your sons and daughters who consider themselves of being of much power or even super power, they are to be humble and keep in mind that their power and authority is subject to You and that they and their power are not supreme. If You had to just say the world, their power and their city with all its power will dissolve like sugar in a cup of tea.




Oh God my Father, I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:-





Oh God my Father, You know all our ways and are aware of both our strong points and our weak points. You know how proud we are and how much we need to become humble in our ways. Even though at times we make plans that are not according to Your will You break them and make them totally unsuccessful for our own good Amen.
