Willing in the day of thy power

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. (Psalms 110:3) *1/ Thy people. 2/ An unwilling people. 3/ The day of God's power.* **Sermon summary:** This sermon centers on Psalm 110:3, emphasizing that God's people are made willing in the day of His power, a truth rooted in the sovereign work of grace rather than human effort. It unfolds the theological reality that, though all humanity is naturally unwilling and rebellious against God due to a corrupted will, the Holy Spirit effectually renews the heart, transforming resistance into joyful obedience. The passage highlights Christ as the divine King and eternal High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, underscoring the contrast between the old covenant's legalistic priesthood and the new covenant's grace-based salvation. The sermon illustrates how God's power is most evident not in dramatic displays, but in the quiet, transformative work of regeneration—seen in conversion, sanctification, and daily surrender—where the believer's willing service flows from a heart renewed by divine grace. Ultimately, the text affirms that true identification with God's people is marked not by external signs, but by a Spirit-empowered willingness to follow Christ, a testimony to the ongoing work of God's power in the lives of His redeemed.
