Scripture

Psalm 24

1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;

2 for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?
Who may stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God his Savior.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may 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 you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory. Selah


Observation

I love this Psalm of Praise, “who is this King of Glory?” The LORD strong and mighty! David starts out this Psalm by saying “the earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”

We belong to Him. Everything around us belongs to Him.

I am so glad that I am a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I have a personal relationship with the Creator God through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Do you feel David’s joy and excitement in this chapter? This Sunday I am going to have our church read this chapter as part of our worship service. The message this Sunday is the third I Am of Christ, “I AM The Gate” found in John 10:9. I just love saying, “who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty – he is the King of glory. Selah”

Application

I will meditate on this Psalm today and pray it back to the Lord.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, the earth is yours, and everything in it and I am yours too. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of knowing you personally. I am filled with your joy today. You are so powerful. You are so mighty. You are the King of Glory. You are strong and mighty. Amen.
