Read Psalms 108 – 114

Ps 110:1 The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."

HERE we see our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, this is the “Old Testament”, but we know the Son of God is from eternal past, and David, to whom this Psalm is attributed, has been given a picture of Jesus’ ultimate reign over all the earth. The word “LORD” refers to the Father, and “Lord” refers to the Son.
We can find great comfort in this prophecy. David gives us an example of that comfort when he turns his eyes to “my Lord” as his enemies threaten his life. David looks beyond the immediate presence of death and sees the eternal future of life. Knowing he’s following one who is “arrayed in holy majesty from the womb of the dawn”, David has comfort in the confidence his Lord is the conqueror of all evil.
David saw the victory. He knew in the midst of dark days that his Lord would conquer all.
When we have this same knowledge in our hearts, our lives become lives of peace. We are secure knowing that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the eternal strength in our lives. This strength overcomes any weakness, inadequacies and fear we may feel. And this strength leads us to victory.
Throughout the bible God shows he is the victor. Keep your eyes focused on him. When you do, he will lead you out of your fears and into peace. You follow the One “clothed in holy majesty”.
