What can we learn from this Psalm?

Psalm TwoActs 4 v 23-31Sovereign Lord, WHO MADE the heaven and the earth and the sea and

everything in them, who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit, “‘WHY DID the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed’ for truly in this city there were gathered together AGAINST your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. And now, Lord, LOOK UPON their threats and GRANT TO YOUR SERVANTS to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while YOU STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was SHAKEN, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and CONTINUED to speak the word of God with boldness.

Psalm Two1 Peter 4 v 12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes

upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed

‘Going against the tide’God is - ‘working His purposes out’
