Psalm 110

“Sit at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet” (v1).  This psalm speaks of Jesus, the Messiah, the Lord who will rule over all the earth (Matt 22:24).  The psalm pictures the Father and Son seated together, completely secure in the knowledge that all enemies will be defeated (v2).  As well as King, Jesus is also a priest like mysterious, holy Melchizedek (v4; Heb 7), and leads us into the Father’s presence.

Somehow, despite the troubled present, we are “seated with Him in the heavenly places” (Eph 2:6).  Our identity as His children and our future with Him is secure.
