esus has many titles, holds many offices and has acted in
many distinct ways. He is our
Savior. He is the King of Kings. And, He is both a conqueror and a judge over
His enemies. These things and more are
alluded to in Psalm 21.
Concerning the Christ; verse 4 hints of His
resurrection. Verses 5 & 6 point to
His exaltation; verse 7 to His humiliation.
Verse 8 reminds us of His coming advent.
Verses 9-12 give us a peek into the day of the judgment of His
enemies. And, verse 13 helps us to see
Him in His kingdom.
Oh surely, the Psalm was originally written with king David
as it's object, but just like many other prophecies in the Scripture, it's full
clarity isn't really seen until it is applied appropriately to its ultimate
object - the Son of God And, don't try to tell me that applying Psalm 21 to the
Messiah is a stretch. I stand firmly on
Romans 11:36, "For of Him, and
through Him, and to Him, are all things:
to whom be glory forever. Amen."
Sometimes we look around and see the devil behind every bush. Perhaps if we would look more closely at
things in this life and if we would observe with faith-filled spiritual eyes,
we would see our Lord in every situation instead of just noticing the devil
(Philippians 4:8 & Romans 8:28). Look
for Him in every verse and in every line of Scripture (Jeremiah 29:13). And, while you're at it, look for Him in the
sky too (Titus 2:13).
