PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Psalm 110

What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?

“The LORD says to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand…” (Psalm 110:1)
Who is David, the king, speaking about… who is his lord?
Jesus also asks this: “If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” (Matthew 22:45)
One Jewish response is that David wrote this psalm for the Levites to sing.
“The LORD [God] said to my lord [King David], ‘Sit at my right hand…’”
However David meant it, he knows that his throne depends on God.
He knows God’s promise that his throne will ALWAYS be filled (2 Samuel 7:13-14).
The line of David had many high and low points, but Jesus was the highest.
I’m not sure who Jews claim to be on David’s throne, but we affirm Jesus as Lord.
This is not referring to Jesus being divine, but to being the promised messiah!
Jesus is the woman’s seed that comes to crush the serpent’s seed. (Genesis 3:15).
Jesus rules not by sword or violence, but by goodness and mercy – like God.
Jesus is what we were supposed to be, and therefore reigns (Genesis 1:26-28).
I am thankful that God has invited Jesus – my Lord – to the throne.
Goodness and mercy have triumphed, and Satan and sin will be crushed (110:5-6).
PRAYER
Lord, I eagerly want to see Satan and sin crushed. You are the One to do it, and share with David this joyful hope that God’s throne will triumph in the end!
