Your Daily Walk
The opening verse of Psalm 110 is one of the most often-quoted verses in the New Testament. Using a good reference Bible or Bible concordance, see how many places you can find Psalm 110:1 quoted or alluded to in the New-Testament (there are nearly a dozen!).
After reading the psalm, you'll understand why New Testament authors put such emphasis on this one verse. In it David, the king of Israel, spoke of yet another King as his "Lord." David, ruler of a nation, humbly acknowledged the lordship of the Ruler of all nations: "The LORD [God] said unto my Lord [Christ], Sit thou at my right hand, [a privilege which even angels do not enjoy, Hebrews 1:131 until I make thine enemies thy footstool." A final surrender is yet to take place in which "every knee [shall] bow ,.. and ... every tongue ... confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Philippians 2:10-11).
David, for all liis kingly might, learned there was Another in his life deserving of the title "Lord." To that sovereign Priest and King, David responded without hesitation. Is that true in your life as well? Have you enthroned Jesus Christ as King in your heart?
Cany a spare key in your pocket or purse today to remind you that the King of the universe wants to be the undisputed King of your castle. But only you can let Him in!
