Psalm 110:1-4 - The
LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst
of your enemies. Your troops will be
willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the
womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth. The LORD has sworn and will
not change his mind: "You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek."
David wrote this Psalm that strengthens the prophecy of Isaiah
7:14. It must have been right on the mark…because Jesus quoted it himself in
Matthew 22. David knew there would be a
Messiah…and he would save the people from their enemies…but he was thinking
earthly king…instead of humble servant.
We are privileged to know that the Messiah came…he was born
of a virgin…raised to be a humble servant…even to obeying the father in heaven
and becoming the sacrifice for all man to have a way to heaven. He is in heaven
as I write…preparing a place for each one of us that believe.
David probably had no clue that his Psalm really discussed
the final days…when the Messiah would return to earth and complete the final judgment
of those who choose not to believe. Revelation discusses the details of this
earthly reign…when Christ returns to claim his children.
My heart tells me that we are close to those final days…and
it is even more important to share the great truth of God with all we can. It will be horrible for those that have
rejected him…and I just couldn’t sleep at night if I were not trying to help
God spread the word.
Father….thank you for the reminder that I need to be about
the father’s business of spreading his good news about salvation to
others. Help me to listen closely to the
opportunities you give me to share what you have done for me. Make me a bold….courageous
servant like David…and Noah…and Jesus….so I can help you save as many as can be
saved before it is too late. Amen.
