Psalm 68
God is here seen as a conquering King
coming home proclaiming victory and being honored and celebrated by the people
He has saved as they throw their first and best at His feet. Paul picks up on
this theme and quotes it in Ephesians 4 only he changes the narrative from a
King being given gifts to a King giving away the spoils of victory. Jesus
Christ is a different kind of King. He deserves respect and honor and worship
and He receives it gladly, but He gives away the reward He earned, the spoils
He deserved. He won the war and gives us the Medal of Honor. He captivates His
people who follow Him gladly.
