Amen

Do you ever feel that the world is messed up and in all this, that it's hard to imagine that there is a God in control? If Psalm 110 humbled David, it also gave him hope.

God promised to build David a house, but clearly stated that God's kingdom would be established by a son of David who was Divine, David's Lord. A perfect kingdom needed a perfect king, and this would be neither David nor Solomon. How much more hope Psalm 110 offered David after his devastating sin with Bathsheba. When David was overcome with guilt and shame, how could he ever conceive of God building an eternal kingdom through him?

It could not be, except for the certainty of the promises of God and the assurance that God would provide a perfect king to establish the promised kingdom. His was not the kingdom, but from him the kingdom would come - through his son and his Lord, Messiah.
