Psalm 110

Of David. A psalm.

1 The LORD says to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."

2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion;
you will rule in the midst of your enemies.

3 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.

4 The LORD has sworn
and will not change his mind:
"You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

7 He will drink from a brook beside the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David wrote Psalm 110, which prophesies about the coming of the Messiah - our Lord Jesus Christ.

Some of the key things that David revealed about Him:
1. Lord Jesus carries with Him the authority of His heavenly Father. (v2, v5)
2. Lord Jesus will overcome all of His enemies. (v1)
3. Lord Jesus will forever be the chief priest of God the Father. (v4)
4. Lord Jesus will judge the nations. (v6)

And yet, despite all His divine nature, our Lord Jesus was willing to come to earth as a man. He gave up all that He had so that man can be reconciled to God.

Isn't this amazing grace? I can't think of a better phrase.


Things to ponder
1. What is one thing that you can praise Lord Jesus for after reading this psalm?
2. Pray for youself to always remember that Lord Jesus went to the cross for all of us, despite His divine nature.
