Why Does the Heathen Rage?

Today I read Psalms 2 where the first words asked are "why does the heathen rage".  It is a very good question.  I know that the natural man is an enemy to God, but why are some men so against all that is good in the world and so bent on doing that which is wrong?  One of my favorite shows to this day is the show 24, however every season of the show is filled with men and women, who commit murder and torture and all manner of evils usually for nothing more than money.  For something that will be absolutely useless once we are out of this life.  People lose sight of what is true and what is important and literally exchange their souls for money or sex or drugs or just about anything that you can think of.  It's sad really, Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.  Today people are selling their eternal birthright for things just as small and trivial in the grand scheme of things.  Make sure you don't lose sight of what is important and that you stay the course.  Until tomorrow.
