Meditations in the Psalms

April 5th

Psalm 45:1-5

This psalm is a beautiful and powerful tribute to the Messiah, the King of kings. The writer is reflecting on the glory and beauty of our blessed Lord, and verses in this psalm are used in the New Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ. When things look dark and difficult all around you – lift up your head…your redemption is drawing near – Jesus is coming!

1. The anticipation of what he is about to say – verse 1
2. The adoration he expresses to the Messiah – verse 2
3. The ability which the coming Messiah king will have – verses 3-4
4. The arrows which the Messiah will use against His enemies – verse 5

Nothing lifts your heart more than remembering that our Lord shall return in power and glory – His majesty and beauty far surpasses anything we have ever known!
