Episode Synopsis

Psalm 2:12 (NKJV) - “Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him"In Psalm 2, we see a world in turmoil—nations raging, rulers rebelling, and people questioning God’s authority. It is a picture that might seem all too familiar today, as we witness conflicts, crises, and chaos around the world. But in the midst of this, the psalm reminds us of a profound truth: God is sovereign. He is not troubled by the upheavals of the world, nor He is shaken by the rebellion of nations. Instead, He sits on His throne, full of calm assurance, because He knows that His plans cannot be thwarted.Psalm 2:4 says, "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision." This is not a laugh of mockery, but of certainty—God’s plan is unshakeable, and no amount of earthly turmoil can change that. He has set His King, Jesus, on the holy hill of Zion, and all nations are under His rule, whether they acknowledge it or not.In our personal lives, we may also face situations that seem chaotic or out of control. We might ask, "Is God still in control? Can I trust Him?" Psalm 2 answers with a resounding "Yes!" The same God who rules the nations also watches over our lives. We are called to "serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling" (Psalm 2:11). This means recognising God’s sovereignty in our lives and responding with humble obedience and joyful trust.Today, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face, but Psalm 2 encourages us to take refuge in God. "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12). When we trust in God’s sovereignty, we find peace and security, knowing that He is in control, no matter what happens around us.Take time today to reflect on areas in your life where you may be resisting God’s authority. Surrender them to Him, trusting in His sovereign plan, and find the blessing of peace that comes from taking refuge in Him.Prayer:"Lord, amidst the storms of life and the rebellions of our times, help us to see Your sovereign throne above all. Teach us to take refuge in You, finding peace and assurance in Your unchanging authority. Give us the courage to surrender every area of our lives to Your will, trusting that You are in control. We thank You for the calm assurance that comes from knowing You are our fortress. In Jesus' name, Amen."
