29 “Dear brothers, think about this! You can be sure that the patriarch David wasn’t referring to himself, for he died and was buried, and his tomb is still here among us. 30 But he was a prophet, and he knew God had promised with an oath that one of David’s own descendants would sit on his throne. 31 David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave.
32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 33 Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God’s right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. 34 For David himself never ascended into heaven, yet he said,
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand 35 until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.”’[g]
36 “So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”

Peter's on a roll, isn't he? "Preaching" is an understatement! He's speaking with authority and conviction, removing all doubt, and leaving no room for interpretation. What a passionate oratory.
LORD, give us the passion of Peter in speaking the truth to bring clarity and understanding of You to our brothers. Amen.

An amazing thought to be seated at the rigth hand or the feet or anywhere near the Father.
As David, so do I realize that this is not about me.
I need extra grace just to fall over the doorstep. My current state of weariness would probably require being carried over the doorstep.
See some of you in the AM.
