WHEN GOD LAUGHS..PSALMS 2:1-5 1. Why do the heathen rage,and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Here, God laughs because men think they can plot and work against God with any hope of success. King David wrote this Psalm, he thought of how strange it is that people rage against God. What is God’s response to the rage of the nations, and their plotting against Him? “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh.” God looks at the way men plot against Him and He laughs. God isn’t afraid or confused or depressed about the opposition of man. God laughs at it. God laughs because His position: He sits in the heavens. He sits as the Great King on a glorious throne. He isn’t pacing back and forth in the throne room of heaven, wondering what He should do next. The Lord isn’t worried, and He has never had a panic attack. God sits in perfect peace and assurance. When men rage and plot against God, He doesn’t even rise from where He sits; God simply laughs. God laughs because of where He is: He sits in the heavens. It isn’t an earthly throne He occupies; it is the throne of heaven with authority over all creation. In all of history the rage of earth has never damaged heaven. What does heaven have to fear from earth? God laughs at the proud man or woman who thinks so highly of himself or herself that they will fight against God and seek to prevent His will.but the rage of man against heaven simply makes Him laugh. Simply said, “The Lord shall hold them in derision.” God isn’t afraid of man, nor is He worried in the slightest. Through the centuries many people have opposed God and His Kingdom in Jesus Christ. Each one of these opponents has been frustrated and crushed – and ever more, they shall be. In every generation there are arrogant voices that think they have put the last nail in the coffin that buries the Church. It won’t happen, and God just laughs. Prov 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
