I really loved reading today's Psalm 24 from The Passion Translation!
David’s poetic praise to God
1 God claims the world as his.
Everything and everyone belongs to him!
2 He’s the one who pushed back oceans
to let the dry ground appear,
planting firm foundations for the earth.
3 Who, then, ascends into the presence of the Lord?
And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place?
4 Those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure,
whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth,
those who never deceive, whose words are sure.
5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing
and righteousness given by the Savior-God.
6 They will stand before God,
for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob.
Pause in his presence
7 So wake up, you living gateways!
Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny!
Welcome the King of Glory,
for he is about to come through you.
8 You ask, “Who is this Glory-King?”
The Lord, armed and ready for battle,
the Mighty One, invincible in every way!
9 So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice!
Fling wide, you ageless doors of destiny!
Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in.
10 You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?”
He is the Lord of Victory, armed and ready for battle,
the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts!
Yes, he is the King of Glory!
Pause in his presence
AMEN! Who IS the King of Glory? His Name is JESUS, the Christ, the Messiah, the Living Lord, the Great I AM, the Saviour of the world, the KING of all kings and LORD of all lords! But, most importantly, He is MY KING and MY LORD! I hope that YOU have made Him YOURS!!! Soon and very soon, we are going to see our Kings and we are going to rise to meet Him in the air and to be with Him FOREVER!!! Are you ready for this!? Here is Hillsong Kids with "My Best Friend":
Shalom in Him!
