Year 5, Day 241: Psalms 110-111

Theological Commentary: Click Here


Discipleship Focus: King

  • King: This is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Triangle.  When we look towards God’s position in the universe, we acknowledge that He is an omnipotent king.  Authority comes from Him.  Power comes through His authority.  He is looking for representatives for His kingdom.

What a big change from yesterday’s psalm to the two psalms for today.  Yesterday we heard David as he was in the midst of persecution.  We absolutely heard the humanity in his voice.  We heard the pain and we heard the human instinct to lash out.

Today, however, we hear a great response from God’s word.  It is God who will avenge.  It is God whose hands work incredible things.  It is God who feeds the hungry and tends the poor.  It is God who knows how to hand out justice.

God is King of the universe, not David.  God is King of the universe, no me or you.  Who are we to tell God what to do?  God is the one who deserves to be praised.  God is the one whose name should be remembered.  God is the one in charge.  He is king.
