God Has a Plan for the Nation’s: Psalm 33:8-12
“8) Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9) For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10) The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. 11) The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. 12) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” Psalms 33:8-12
David understood the supremacy of God. He recognized that He rules from heaven and that His counsel stands.
He can veto the plans of any nation and thwart the plots of the wicked. What God decrees comes to pass.
There are national blessing for following Him. Verse 12 was the cornerstone of David’s administration; “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.”
I believe this verse applies to any nation that acknowledges God and follows His ways. Every time Israel followed God, He honored and blessed them. Every time they strayed and turned away from Him, they were disciplined.
The Bible has two themes running through it. There is a battle for every human soul and there is a battle for every nation. Part of the chaos in our modern world is the unseen battle for nations.
