OT: The Book of Psalms, Psalm 45

Psalm 45:1-17

45:1 This Psalm is an expression of adoration for Jesus. The Psalmist was eager and thrilled to express love.

45:2-5 Jesus, unique from any other person. His love for us is differently from anyone else's love for us; He abundantly graces our live with blessing. He and His life are the embodiment of truth, humility and righteousness. His goodness is His majesty.

45:6-9 He is eternal. King of an eternal kingdom. King of righteousness. He has dominion over evil. Jesus has been given dominion over the earth, over the wickedness within it. He is precious and invaluable.

45:10-12 The Psalmist encourages us to spiritually betroth ourselves to the Lord. We are encouraged to reject the secular world's principles and trade them for the wealth that is the philosophy of God written in scripture. 

45:13-15 The spiritually faithful and steadfast shall be like a joyful wife, married to a king in an eternal kingdom. 

45:16-17 God's love for us extends to the good fruit we produce with our lives.
