7"I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your posession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware'"
10 Now therefore O Kings, show discernment; take warning O judges of the earth 11 worship the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling
I read this passage in the morning before i went to work, and what struck me the most is how it indicates the coming of Christ and the power that He will bring to earth. He can break entire countries as if they were clay pots. His power is something that I cannot even imagine, yet I contain Him in this box and talk to Him in times of need or times of sheer rejoicing. But what about everything else that we do in our lives? those mundane activities we deem trivial in light of others that are seemingly more worthwhile. But God with His power and sovereignty allows me to live every single moment, do every little activity. I cant help but long to have this heart attitude that is constantly praising God for life in the moment and the ability to do what I am doing.
This passage also talks about Chirst fighting battles for us. with a nation in uproar, Christ will break them with a rod of iron and shatter them like earthenware. we ourselves are not anywhere in that statement. it is Christ who will save hearts and conquer the lost. Its hard for me to remember that sometimes here at home surrounded by so many lost. I feel this urgency to work so hard to get them to understand and believe in what will save them from eternal death, but ultimately I am not the one who is working, and I need to realize that. I need to do all that I can for the glory of God and acknowledge His power in all that I do and be thankful for His work that allows me to carry out this life.
