Psalm 110 – Holy Spirit

Read Psalm 110

What were your thoughts when you first read through today’s psalm? I was thinking, this is really prophetic and points to Jesus.

This psalm is, in fact, one of the most quoted psalms in the New Testament. It’s full of references like, “my Lord”, “sit in honor at my right hand”, “rule over enemies”, “a priest forever”, “he will be victorious”. Jesus fought the final battle with evil in the book of Revelation, and he was victorious indeed. Praise be to God!

I don’t know about you, but I love it when scripture does this — agrees with itself.  It proclaims what is to be long before it is. I love when God reveals himself so that his love can be made known.

Think of this — the same Holy Spirit that filled David as he wrote this psalm is alive and well today, living inside us. We are his, too. As followers of Jesus we have access to the power present in creation, that filled the believers at Pentecost (in the book of Acts), that gave Moses the courage and strength to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. We have access to THAT power! Praise be to God!

How does that make you feel?

I’m a bit intimidated, truth be told, yet invincible. Does that makes sense? Can both exist simultaneously? Feeling awe is necessary to take us to the next level of ultimate trust.

How is the Spirit moving in you today? Maybe it’s too early to tell, so think about this week. Where have you seen the Spirit at work?

For me, God’s spirit is most evident when I lead worship. I can feel his fire cursing through my bloodstream. I feel a warmth and connection like at  no other time. I feel numb almost, overcome with a peace that I can’t explain.

I also see his provision when I don’t have the strength or desire to complete a task. Do you ever struggle with fatigue or lack of desire to complete a task? We all do. But when I call upon God and work as if for him alone, I am refreshed to complete what I needed to do.

One of my favorite worship leaders, Kari Jobe, has a song called Holy Spirit, and I’d like to share a video of this worship time. Click HOLY SPIRIT.

Let’s pray. Father, I come to you today and am trying hard to close out the noise and busyness of the day ahead. Yet, in the stillness you are here, waiting for me. Thank you. I am in awe of you. You are great beyond comprehension. Help me still my soul so I can hear you. Walk with me this day. Open my heart so I can be more attentive to your prompts. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
