Worldly
Noise
Woe to the multitude of many people who make a noise like the
roar of the seas, and to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The
nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; but God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, and be chased
like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, like a rolling thing before
the whirlwind. – Isaiah 17:12-13 NKJV.
Why do the nations rage, and the
people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in
pieces and cast away their cords
from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in
derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His
deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” –
Psalm 2:1-6 NKJV.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is located three miles south of downtown Washington D.C.
It is the closest airport to the capital. During the last year or so flight
patterns over and around the airport have been changed and enlarged. These
changes of flight patterns have resulted in 8,670 noise complaints in the last
year. However, 6,500 of those complaints were made by just one individual
averaging about 18 per day. But there have been no reports of any changes in
the flight patterns in response to the complaints. (NewsBeatSocial

Wouldn’t
it be wonderful if we could shut out completely the noise of the world? It is simply
not possible unless we live in a cave in a very remote place with no modern
conveniences. Oh, but it would be nice to have a mute button for everything
evil.
Evil
driven people bomb and shoot others, and nations plot to destroy other nations.
“What will come of all of their evil? Here is what God will do: He who sits in the heavens shall LAUGH; the Lord shall hold them in
DERISION. Then He shall speak to them in His WRATH, and distress them in His
deep displeasure: ‘Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion
(Psalm 2:4-6).’”
Yes, there is evil lurking in this world seeking
to attack us making a lot of noise, but God has our six. Jesus Christ the King
of kings is alive and well at the right hand of the Father. As we are bombarded
with all the noise of the world, as we face the threats against us we need to
have the attitude of the apostle Paul: “For we know
that if our earthly house, this
tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens (2 Corinthians 5:1).” Let us overcome this noise,
this evil of the present world as will the saints of the Book of Revelation: “And they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives
to the death (so much as to shrink from death – NIV) (Revelation 12:11).”
