Then Sings My Soul - Cries Of The Heart From The PsalmsУзорак

Psalm 110:1 

A declaration of Yahweh to my lord, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

Oh, what honor is Yours, Jesus, for Your perfect obedience! You have been given the position of power at the Father’s right hand. We long for the day when Your rule will find complete fulfillment and all of Your enemies will be utterly defeated. From the very moment You began to unfold Your rule here on earth, there’s been no stopping its expansion. Through Your messenger-army of love, more and more people have come to place their trust in You. Your sacrifice has made it possible for all of us to experience God’s presence forever. One day, You will right every wrong and You won’t stop to rest until all are under Your rule! 

Application: What hope are you holding onto?

When circumstances look different than the way we want them to, we might find ourselves hoping the circumstances will change. They might. They also might not. The mystery of God’s infinite perspective and sovereign plan makes it impossible for us to predict how many things will unfold. Such seasons of hardship make it vital to position our hope in the truth of God’s promises found in His Word. What do you find yourself hoping will happen? What certainties does the Word speak into those places and how might that affect your ultimate hope?   

Kids Tip: Have your kids collect a medium size glass bowl, a rock and several different colored liquids. Place the rock inside the bowl. Ask the kids what is inside the bowl (a rock, of course!;). Take turns pouring the different liquids into the bowl. What happens to the rock when all of the changing colors of liquids are poured in? Point out that though its surroundings might look different, the rock remains the same. What stays the same in our lives no matter what changes might happen? What promises does God make that we can always count on?
