5 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
David talks about the thrones of his own house with confidence. How comfortable are we to speak about our own "thrones", the authority and royalty that is ours? Are we mature enough, like Paul, to speak about our own strengths and achievements unselfconsciously and without arrogance or boasting? David encouraged himself in the Lord by acknowledging all that God had done in him and through him. We can do the same, and I'd suggest its only when we become confident in our God given privilege that we stop seeking approval or superiority over others and (like the best Kings) begin to serve the people from that throne of grace.
