Psalm 108-110
Psalm 108: Some of this may have sounded familiar to you, it was a combination of two other Psalms. This psalm written by David must have been a battle prayer since the enemies of Israel are named in it.
Psalm 109: Harsh huh? Let me ask you a question, if we could record your thoughts on a bad day, at home, at work, looking at the neighbors, driving, thinking, e-mailing…and then played them on a loud speaker, would you? Psalm 109 is called an ‘imprecatory’ or cursing Psalms. Although it seems harsh, David (like Jesus) is hated by his enemies for no reason. His prayer here is for God to handle the evil. David knows that God is just and right. Clearly David is angry, but the right thing is to leave it in the Lord’s hands.
Psalm 110: Did the name Melchizedek pop out at you? It did me, so I took the time to look it up. Hmmmmm what I found was most interesting. Way way back in Genesis 14 there was this verse out of no where:
Hmmmmmm. What are you thinking? Possible? Could Christ have made an Old Testament Appearance? For Fun? Why…why not?

Psalm 110: Did the name Melchizedek pop out at you? It did me, so I took the time to look it up. Hmmmmm what I found was most interesting. Way way back in Genesis 14 there was this verse out of no where:
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying,Stay with me here for a moment..I want your opinion. Then the Psalm says:
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
“You are a priest forever,Then…Hebrews chapter 5 says:
in the order of Melchizedek.”
No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was. So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,So who is he?The King of Salem (Jerusalem)! The name Melchizedek in Hebrew means ‘King of Righteousness’; The King of Salem means ‘the King of Peace.
”You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.And he says in another place,
”You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”
Hmmmmmm. What are you thinking? Possible? Could Christ have made an Old Testament Appearance? For Fun? Why…why not?
