“Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:6 NKJV
William MacDonald, author of the Believers Bible Commentary writes:
'To place this Psalm in its proper setting, we must look ahead to the close of the Great Tribulation, immediately prior to the glorious Return and reign of our Lord Jesus Christ. At this time a vast federation of rulers and nations will unite in a passionate determination to prevent Christ from taking the reins of world government.' 2:1-3 'But such a federation will prove to be an exercise in futility. "Why" asks the psalmist, 'do the Gentile nations and the Jewish people enter such a hopeless conspiracy? How do the Gentile kings and Jewish rulers think they can ever succeed in rebelling against the authority of the LORD and of His Anointed?" 2:4-6 'God in the heavens shall laugh at their stupid insolence. He will mock their clenched fists and fiery slogans. Their boasts and threats are the squeaks of a mouse against a lion.'
I love that last bit 'Their boasts and threats are the squeaks of a mouse against a lion.' Now this is something to remember when threats are coming against you from all corners, with people saying that you have done this wrong or it should have been done another way, by another person. We've all had to put up with this sort of thing from time to time. So the mouse against a king, sounds great to me.
God has placed His Anointed One - Jesus Christ on God's holy hill of Zion. In other words, Jesus is on His Throne, His rightful place. Can you see how He handles all of the flak that comes from people? If so, adopt it yourself by handing it all over to Jesus, the Lion, and He will deal with it on your behalf. Then, you can laugh your way through the problems that have been sent to disable you.
So, from day to day, as we place Jesus first in our life, we can have the assurance that He will go with us and direct the way (Proverbs 3:5-6). In other words, God has placed Jesus on His Throne and, as we do the same, we come under His wings. Now, this means trusting Him with all of your heart and not thinking that you know best. We often think that we have a plan, there's no need to pray about it; and this leads us to disaster. As we continue to make Jesus our No 1 in our life, He will continue to direct our footsteps. He can be trusted.
If you don't have a feeling of peace about something, then you more than likely have it wrong. Clarify this with Jesus and follow His plan. Be patient don't try to rush ahead of Him. That would be foolish.
Jesus, the Anointed One, is on His Throne. Make sure that you place Him as such in your life.
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
