March 18, 2013 A Victory Life

Read Psalms 110 – 112 A Victory Life Ps 110:1 The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” JESUS CHRIST is in this Scripture. Yes, this is the “Old Testament”, but we know the Son of God is from eternal past. David, who wrote this Psalm, 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 you 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 his confidence that his Lord is the conqueror of all evil. David saw the victory. He knew in the midst of dark days that his Lord would win. David could live a life of victory against evil. And he would lead his nation to live in the same way. When you see Jesus as David did, you will live in victory, too. you know Jesus overcame death. You know he rose to proclaim victory, to give you confidence, comfort and peace in your life. You 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 that attempt to defeat us. Throughout the Bible God shows he is the victor. Keep your eyes focused on the One “clothed in holy majesty”. Live in victory with him. It’s True! The victor clothes you in himself.
