Open the Door!

Open the Door!

Psalm 24:9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.”
 
[The repetition here from verse 7 shows how important it is to open the way for God’s entrance. And why would anyone not want to open up to the King of glory?
 
You, Lord God, bring only what is good, only what is a blessing, only what gives freedom, joy and grace in the end. Therefore to you we give praise, to you we give the glory due your name, lifting you up by obeying your Word, resting in your goodness, praising you in all.]
 
Psalm 24:10 “Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty—he is the King of glory.”
 
[You, O Yahweh, are the Lord of Power, the God of Might, the Commander of all the hosts of Heaven. There is nothing good you cannot do, there is nothing wise you will not do, there is nothing evil you will ever do.
 
To you belongs all glory: you are Ruler, Lord, Creator and King. To you I bow down today and submit myself in obedience to your Word, to your Spirit, to your Way so that you may have more glory.
 
I give you honor and praise, I acclaim your power, your strength, your goodness and your grace, your wisdom, your holiness, your purity and love. To you be rich and deep glory, ever expanding honor and endless praise. May only positives flow from my life to you today, giving you ever increasing exaltation, my Lord and King. Amen.”
