So when I was going through the application process to go on
The World Race, a good friend of mine here at Clemson prayed that God would
give me conformational verses from Scripture if this was His plan for me. No
joke, within the next few days I ran across a passage that almost made me laugh
as to how perfect it fit everything I was facing, from wanting confirmation to
fears about going. Check it out:
Why
do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
The
kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.
“Let
us break their chains,” they say,
“and throw off their fetters.”
The
One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
Then
he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I
have installed my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
I will proclaim the decree of
the LORD:
He said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.
Ask
of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You
will rule them with an iron scepter;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore,
you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve
the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
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.
(Psalm 2)
God is so good.
