Praying The Promises and Power of God

“The enemies of God think that they are victorious against God’s church. They crucify Jesus and imprison his apostles with impunity, and yet their actions are futile. As David endured persecution at the hands of Saul but experienced God’s protecting care, so the apostles know that the Lord will not forsake them (Matt. 28:20b). Psalm 2 reveals the utter foolishness of the nations in plotting against God, for all their efforts are thwarted. The kingdom of God’s Son shall last forever.' - Simon Kistemaker
