| Open the gates! |
WEDNESDAY Reflections
There are three
sections that stand out to me. First is the acknowledgment that everything
belongs to the Lord. He made it, it’s all his, like it or not. The second is that only those
that belong to God (have clean hearts) can come before God. Yes, God made the
unredeemed, but they can’t
come before Him as family. Finally, there is a call to open the ancient gates.
Though this may have to do with the upcoming return of the Messiah, I like to
think of it as the final part of this chapter in relation to us. We have to
open the gates of our hearts if God is going to come in and make us clean.
Psa 24:1-10
(1) A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
(2) For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
(3) Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
(4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
(5) He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
(6) This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
(7) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
(8) Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
(9) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
(10) Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
