The King Who Reigns
by Torrie Slaughter
Scripture Focus: Psalm 110:1–4
"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." — Psalm 110:1 (KJV)
Psalm 110 turns our attention toward the authority of the promised Messiah.
Jesus Himself references this psalm, and Hebrews draws upon it to explain His priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek.
This is an important connection as we study Jehovah Sabaoth.
Our confidence is not grounded in the belief that we can command every circumstance to change. Our confidence rests in Jesus Christ, the risen and exalted King.
He reigns even when we do not understand what is happening around us.
And because He is our great High Priest, we can approach God with confidence through Him.
Spiritual maturity requires learning the difference between trusting God's authority and trying to exercise control over outcomes.
Reflection Question: Where am I trying to control something that I need to entrust to the authority of Christ?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are the exalted King and our great High Priest. Teach me to submit to Your authority with humility and confidence. Help me obey what You have revealed and trust You with what remains unseen. Amen.
