He Will Bring Justice (Psalm 72:3-4)

Today's scripture: Psalm 72:3-4

This psalm is written about an earthly king, Solomon, but it also “anticipates Messiah’s reign as the culmination of the Davidic Covenant” (note from The MacArthur Study Bible). 

During Solomon’s time, I don’t believe there was the peace and justice described in this psalm, and so I also anticipate Messiah’s reign when He returns.

I can’t wait!

One day, we will live in a “new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1) where we’ll experience eternal light as God Himself will “illumine” us (Revelation 22:5). And then some of the most encouraging, hope-filled promises:

“ … He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

The oppressor of this world God will “break in pieces” and justice will finally be served.

I really can’t wait!
