Rebels Without A Cause

Psalm 2:2

2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.

New leadership was put in place by the Lord and the nations rebelled. The Zondervan NIV Study Bible puts it as plain as it gets, "to rebel against the  Lord's anointed one is to rebel against the One who anointed him." This may hurt but when leadership is placed over you it's for a reason. And to not heed or respect the leadership placed over you by the Lord is to say that you do not respect the Lord himself. The Lord's Anointed One refers to Christ as well as any earthly leadership placed over you. The Word says in Psalm 2:1 that those who conspire against the One the Lord appoints does so in vain. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you don't have to respect it. God is not concerned with if we like it or not. what He is concerned with is His will being carried out. As the Word says in Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways declares the Lord. There are many who disregard God's will and do not understand that God's will covers everything we can't and don't want to see. When a new president is elected, respect it and get with the program. When a new supervisor is placed over you, respect and get with the program. When you have a new leadership in the church, respect it and get with the program. When you have a new step-parent/parent, respect it and get with the program. Rebelling only causes more headache and wasted time for you. The leadership is not leaving so unless you plan to leave the country, the job, the church, organization or get your own place, you must follow the leadership. And if God hasn't told you to do so, it's still out of order. Why do you rebel? What is your cause? Is it really honorable or is it about your personal feelings?
