Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and his anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD has them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.” I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, with trembling 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. (Psalm 2, NRSV)
One of my favorite movies is My Sisters Keeper. It is a great movie, but one of my favorite parts is the beginning…
On a black screen the words come up: “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans…”
The peoples plot and conspire in vain. Why do we think we know better than God?
He laughs when we tell Him what is going to happen, because He has created the cosmos and set the world in motion. He will have happen what needs to happen in order for Hi plan to be carried out. And we get the awesome pleasure of being a part of this, and giving Him a chuckle when we think we can do it better.
Know He has set your world in motion and knows what is best for you!
