Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it.

Hey friends, welcome back to You in the Bible. My name is Alexa, and I'm joined from my co-hosts

for the week, Antonisha.

Hey, friends. Today we're going to be going deeper into the passage that we annotated yesterday, Psalm 110.1.

So to start us off, Antonia, can you tell us where this passage fits in the biblical story?

Yeah, so this is a Psalm written by David during his rule as King of Israel. As we know, David was called a man after God's on heart, even though he made some pretty unwise decisions throughout his rule. But even so, God made a covenant with David to give him an heir that would rule on the throne forever. At this point, in biblical history, Israel is still waiting on the Messiah,

but the promise that God made to David is one that they're holding onto with hope for future redemption. Yeah, it's interesting to read this Psalm after having studied 2nd Samuel 7 a few weeks

back. There seems to be a connection here to the covenant that God made with David. You know,

there is a Lord being discussed in this passage who receives a heavenly throne and authority

over enemies. And I think this points us back to what God promised to David of a king who would

have an eternal throne and kingdom. So it's neat to see that connection. So what about God's character? Is there

anything that we can learn from this passage about God's character? Yeah, this verse along with the

entirety of Psalm 110, really speaks to God's rule and reign over all things. In the ancient near

east where David lived to sit at a king's right hand meant to share in the authority that

the king possessed. So this passage reminds us that God is the true king of the universe. He has the power

to overthrow his enemies and to rescue his people and his power cannot be matched or thwarted.
