“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”” - Psalm 2:1-3, ESV.

Do not be surprised when you hear of nations removing God from their country. Such has been the case from the beginning. God created humanity with a set of innate and given laws. People, therefore countries, want to live beyond the barriers of God’s laws. Why? That was David’s question.

He answered it immediately. The kings set themselves up as kings. The rulers decided with each other what they would do. God has no part in the process of governance at all. The leaders may say an empty prayer at the beginning of their meetings, but only for tradition. God will not be fooled.

Other than praying and voting to replace leaders, you can do very little about how your country is governed. But the government of your life is a different story. Allow Jesus to be King of your life. Yield to His authority. Live by His rules, and you will not have the same fate as the ungodly. You will not be judged for their sins.

Allow God to remain your King! -Pastor Mike

BTW, there once was a king who was 12 inches tall. He was a terrible king but a great ruler.
