A Daily Devotional – MESSIAH – The Eternal Word
Comment: Taking some thoughts from Psalm 2
regarding Messiah’s Victory over the nations and His Kingdom Authority over all
the world, I comment regarding a day in the United States of America we call Inauguration
Day. “Why do the people ‘rage’? Why do they ‘plot’ a vain thing? Most of the
people of this nation call themselves ‘democratic’. The word, even from a
liberal dictionary means “of and for the people”. The people of the nation
voted, yet the people of this nation are not satisfied, WHY? The answer is not
political, please read and meditate on Psalm 2.
Devotional:
Yes,
I do agree that our nation suffers many problems, all of which are selfishly
and politically generated ‘by and of the people’ who claim some form of
citizenship, even though the definition of ‘citizen today’ is somewhat defined
as; “I am a citizen of ‘America’ and I do what is right in my own eyes”,
meaning that most of us like OUR so called leaders have the same mindset of
Judges 21:25. We have abandoned our birthright of being ‘responsive citizens’
of the United States.
Some, recently have said that I have a bad
interpretation on this subject, yet could these folks be wrong? God will judge
for sure and in this; I am comforted. The problem with our nation is not Political,
it is Spiritual. The following is a portion of scripture found in Romans
13:1-7.
Let every soul
be subject to the governing authorities. For
there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are
appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the
ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For
rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid
of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For
he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he
does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to
execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore, you must be subject, not
only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you
also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very
thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs
to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
The current
public outcry of our day, “today” is that the people have rebelled against God
and His appointed leaders of the nation. Our liberal media has focused on every
negative aspect of the newly appointed leadership. Guess what? It has not
changed a thing nor CAN it, because it was appointed and approved by God. The
people ‘rage’ and ‘plot’ a vain thing, why? Because they are blind to the Truth
that God will rule, not only in eternity, but also in time. By the way! The
time is short!
