April 5 - Psalm 110 · A Chapter a Day Bible Reading

• 0:12
  How life friends, It's shown here it is Friday.
• 0:16
  You have reached the end of another week.
• 0:19
  Congratulations. That is the first week of April
• 0:21
  taken care of. Well done for you.
• 0:24
  Here we are at the end of the week and looking toward the
• 0:27
  weekend. I hope it was a good one for
• 0:31
  you. It was probably a short week
• 0:32
  after Easter, and you've made it.
• 0:35
  Isn't it funny how short weeks still feel like hard work
• 0:38
  sometimes, don't they? Yes, they do, but good for you.
• 0:42
  Here we are at the end of it, and as is our way today, we are
• 0:46
  going to read Assam. This is a royal Sam.
• 0:50
  This is a sum that talks about the kingship of God.
• 0:54
  And some people see a very clear sign that this is also talking
• 1:00
  about the Messiah to come. So this is a sum that speaks to
• 1:05
  its day, but also into the future.
• 1:07
  And of course today, in the benefit of hindsight, with all
• 1:11
  this time and space between those days and now, it all seems
• 1:15
  a little clearer to us. But nonetheless, it's a short
• 1:18
  one, and it's a beauty. And we get to read it together
• 1:21
  today. So this, friends, this is a sum
• 1:24
  of David Sam's 110. The Lord said to my Lord.
• 1:40
  Sit in the place of honour at my right hand until I humble your
• 1:44
  enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.
• 1:49
  The Lord will extend your powerful Kingdom from Jerusalem.
• 1:53
  You will rule over your enemies when you go to war.
• 1:58
  Your people will serve you willingly.
• 2:01
  You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will
• 2:06
  be renewed each day like the morning dew.
• 2:10
  The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow.
• 2:14
  You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
• 2:20
  The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you.
• 2:23
  He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.
• 2:27
  He will punish the nations and fill their lands with corpses.
• 2:32
  He will shatter heads over the whole earth, but he himself will
• 2:38
  be refreshed from the brooks along the way.
• 2:41
  He will be victorious. Yes, Lord, you are a victorious
• 2:56
  God, and victory to you looks so different from what we think
• 3:01
  victory should look like. You know, in this arm it talks
• 3:04
  about shattering enemies and Spears and Shields, but so often
• 3:12
  victory for you looks like sacrificing yourself so that
• 3:18
  your love can come into its fullness, so that people will
• 3:22
  know their true value and their dignity in your eyes.
• 3:27
  Just continue to redefine in our hearts what it looks like to be
• 3:32
  victorious, and often that planting of a small seed of
• 3:37
  grace or shining some love where it wouldn't otherwise be shown.
• 3:43
  That is victory, and even though it doesn't feel big or mighty or
• 3:48
  powerful, that is where you win. That is where your Kingdom gets
• 3:54
  a foothold in this world. May we be your messengers of
• 4:01
  your victory. Not our victory, not what we
• 4:03
  think your victory should look like, but your sacrificial
• 4:07
  servant hearted love and leadership of your people.
• 4:13
  Us. You are a good, good God, a
• 4:18
  loving, kind and gracious Lord. And we love you and we praise
• 4:24
  you. And it's all these things that
• 4:27
  we pray in the saving name of Jesus I'm in.
