God Laughs at Our Government Leaders - Psalms 1-2

Psalms 2:2 (ESV)
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,

In 2022 we have a very charged political system across the globe, and significantly in the U.S.   The leadership systems of the world and our own government seem to be set against the traditional Christian principles of God’s Word. To those who grew up in a time when society was much more bent toward a Christian world-view, this seems to be a surprise to them (those older in life).   However, this should not be a surprise.   The believer in Christ should not be surprised that leadership of the world’s systems have a bent against God.  We should not be surprised that the world’s leaders “set themselves” and “take counsel together against the LORD.”    In Psalm 2 we read those words.  Those words were written by King David in 900 BC.   That is almost 3,000 years ago.   Why would we be surprised that in 2022 the leaders of our country are imagining ill toward the things of God?   We might be surprised, but God is not.   God so is not surprised, David writes that God even laughs at them (verse 4).    God actually sits in heaven and laughs at the plans of the kings of the earth.   They are like bumbling idiots to the mind of God.    We fret and worry and plot ways to break their leadership power over us.  But, King David simply states of God:

Psalms 2:9 (ESV)
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”

God is in charge and laughs at the plans of man.   Why do we have consternation about our leader’s conniving?   God doesn’t.   We should relax and enjoy the fact that God knows it, laughs at it and will, in His time, dash their plan to pieces.
