The scenario in Psalm chapter 2 has been and will continue to increase. Actually good news. Where sin abounds, God's Grace abounds even more! Romans 5:20
Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

National Day of Prayer
Perhaps one of the most powerful calls to prayer came from President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. In 1863, he issued a proclamation for a day of "humiliation, fasting and prayer." Here is some of that proclamation:
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."

From a personal thought...
As I was finalizing my blog regarding "He is Risen", I thought of what is to me a most important Scripture for this day, one that many may not attribute to this Resurrection Sunday.
It is Philippians 3:7-14. Of course when Paul wrote this he was looking back at the power of not only the Cross of death but also the power of the Resurrection, the ultimate defeat of the "last enemy"...death.
But verse 8 sums it all up for me, the more important, above all the rest, the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord...when we've made that quality commitment we can then look at the Cross and Resurrection in a different light and begin to see the TOTAL price that was paid for us! Simple, when we draw near to God His promise is He will draw near to us!
He is Risen
One of the most powerful and to the two ladies discussed in the Gospel of Luke, a most enigmatic question in the Bible...Why do you seek the Living One from among the dead?
A question for us...are we seeking the Living One from among the dead? Are we truly seeking the truth and Revelation of God's Word or are we, as the Pharisees were, holding to the vain traditions of men?
I hope you have a very blessed Resurrection Sunday.
