Praise The King! (Psalm 24:7-10)
(Memorization Scripture 7-8)

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you 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 you gates! Lift up, you 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

Reflection:
Praise the Lord! Psalm 24 paints a beautiful and glorious picture of worship and praise! When the people of God seek Him, quiet themselves before His throne, fix their eyes on Him, worship Him, and wait upon Him, He reveals Himself in His great glory and victory. He powerfully calls out to His people:
"Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle."
Oh, how blessed are we to have such a glorious King enter into our midst, bringing with Him the joy of sharing in His triumph! How transformed and renewed our lives should be because of His presence!
Yes, every time we worship and praise Him, we must earnestly seek to know Him (Hosea 6:3), be cleansed by the precious blood of Christ, and live as His children with "clean hands and a pure heart," receiving His blessings. Let us also ask the Holy Spirit to open the gates of our hearts and lift up those "everlasting doors," for we know that "the King of glory shall come in!"
At this very moment, let us prepare ourselves and give all praise to the King! Praise the King!
