Shalom,
Psalm 110:1:
1 THE LORD (God) says to my Lord (the Messiah), Sit at My right hand, until I make Your adversaries Your footstool.
This Psalm, according to one commentary I read, is quoted or alluded to in the New testament more times than any other Psalm, with verse 1 appearing 25 times! Check out Hebrews chapter 1 and Philippians chapter 2 for two of those examples! Our Covenant making and Covenant keeping God (Jehovah) said this to our resurrected Lord Jesus! God the Son, Who came to earth as the Son of God and the Son of Man, was given a Name that is above EVERY other name and was seated at the Father's right hand! Not only that, but this King of all kings is also an eternal High Priest (Hebrews 4:15)! Verse 4:
4 The LORD has sworn and will not revoke or change it: you are a priest forever, after the manner and order of Melchizedek.
We can come before His presence with great confidence that we are always welcome there and that He is always disposed to show us His favor! Stay in close, intimate fellowship with Him every day and you should never have a "bad day" for the rest of you life here on earth! Choices! Make the wise ones!
1 Peter 2:9 is speaking of every born again believer in Jesus of Nazareth!
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
That is who we are because of Him! That is exactly the way that God sees us! Don't see yourself as anything less than who God Himself has MADE you to be! It is high time for the Church of Jesus Christ to step it up and BE the Church! As HE is, so are we, IN THIS WORLD (1 John 4:17)! That means right now, NOT later on in Heaven! We must operate as the Body that Jesus Himself is the Head of! We are His hands, His feet, and His voice in the earth! See it, believe it, and DO IT! Amen! here is Hillsong's "The Lost Are Found:
We read 2 Chronicles 36:1-8 in the Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. Did you notice that God did not appoint these kings! Verse 1 says that "The people of the land" made Jehoahaz their king. Then, after three months, "the king of Egypt made Eliakim" king over Judah. And, of course, he did evil in the sight of the LORD! God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to invade the land and take some of the best of the Hebrew young people into exile. His plan and purpose was to preserve and protect the line that the Messiah Jesus would eventually come through! As your continue to read through the Old Testament, remember these things. It will help you to put things in the right perspective and will bring a great understanding of the "ways" of God, just like Moses (Psalm 103:7)!
Shalom in Him!
