It's been a few days after you started your Psalms reading?
Guess you should be at Psalms 2, while some may still stuck at someone. XD if you got what I mean.
Thank God for today.
There's always a sense of pride in me. I thank God for the Psalm 2 before food, because I almost forget to read it as I was hungry to get my lunch. Thank God my lecturers left the nursing laboratory late.
1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One. [b]
3 "Let us break their chains," they say,
"and throw off their fetters."
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 "I have installed my King [c]
on Zion, my holy hill."
7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD :
He said to me, "You are my Son [d] ;
today I have become your Father. [e]
8 Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will rule them with an iron scepter [f] ;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
My worst fear in staying in my class, is about class politics, where people try to think each other thinking and plot how to win people over, attract people into small groups. It really happens.
I just hope I am thinking too much.
Well, because of pride, and sometimes I was felt in that situation, I was thinking, am I His Anointed One in my class? I was hoping the Lord was doing what was on verse 3 and 4.
But, hey wasn't there only one Anointed One? Then and there I realised my pride.
Still, I thank God, because I realised I am like one of the kings on earth.
Being acknowledge as His son, I realised I am protected against all the plots, whether is human or Satan's, He has became Our Father who looked over my life.
I thank God I can be different from them. Though sometimes, they ignored me and forget me in class, and whatever, I have inheritance and have given the privilege to have iron scepter.
The iron scepter is just like the Wisdom amd Knowledge of Christ, given to me so that I can break people's pride humbly.
LAst but not least, at the end of the day, I still must kept myself free from sins, in order not to displease Him or make Him angry. Why? Because I have sinned today and yesterday, towards the sight of flesh.
Thus, whenever I was again led to temptation, I shall seek Him as my refuge. (:
Thank God for today.
Thank God, that I can concentrate on the lecture all the way.
Thank God, that I can share with you all. (:
Praise God, that I have overcome some part of my sins. (:
