Day 24.

Read Psalm 24 today. 
​
According to the psalmist, what power does God have?
Who receives blessing and righteousness from the Lord?
How does the psalmist describe the King?

God is sovereign and has the power to give good things.

As you reflect on this, pray in these ways and any other way the Holy Spirit leads.

To see how God desires for you to clean your “hands” and purify your heart.
As you confess, trust in God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
That your actions, attitudes, and will would reflect God’s ways.
For your heart to be open to the timing of answers from the Lord.
For the ability to see God’s face and not serve anyone other than God.
For a life of integrity, making good and true decisions when tempted to do otherwise.
 
The King of Glory
 
David’s poetic praise to God 
 
Creation’s King
1  Yahweh claims the world as his.
Everything and everyone belong to him!
2  He’s the one who pushed back oceans 
to let the dry ground appear,
planting firm foundations for the earth.
 
Who Comes before the King?
3  Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh?
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 Yahweh’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
 
The King is Coming!
7  So wake up, you living gateways!
Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! 
Welcome the King of Glory,
for he is about to come through you.
8  You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?”
Yahweh, armed and ready for battle,
Yahweh, invincible in every way!
9  So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice!
Fling wide, you eternal doors!
Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in.
10You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?”
He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle,
the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! 
Yes, he is the King of Glory!
