The nations of the world plot and scheme. They work to rid themselves of God. They set themselves up as the authority. Whether it's a Muslim, communist or capitalist country, they try to exist without god.
How does God respond? He laughs (Ps 2:4).
God's plan is that His Son, Jesus, will reign from Jerusalem over all the nations. All the nations will be His possession. He will rule with a rod of iron and crush His opponents. God laughs because He knows that nations' attempts to live without His rule are pointless.
So the kings and rulers are called to submit to Him now. They will eventually submit or be destroyed. Submitting peacefully and lovingly now is the better alternative.
God will rule over them. the question is how they will respond.
The same is true on a personal level. God is sovereign over my life and yours. He has a plan and He has the resources to carry out His plan.
Whether I like it or not. Whether I realize it or not. No matter how hard I rage and plot against it.
God is in charge.
The best thing for me to do is to lovingly submit. Submit to what He is doing. Submit to what His Word reveals about His plan for my life.
"Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him" (Ps 2:12)
