"Lift up your
heads, O ye gates;
and be lifted
up, ye 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."
Psalm 24:7,8
Open The Door To Your
Heart
A very long time ago,
God's people sang praises unto the Lord as they
marched up to the temple church on Mount Zion.
They welcomed Jehovah,
their hero,
for He rescued them many
a time!
Today, we need to be
marching our way to the temples offering this same
type of praise.
For God has also rescued
us and continues to do so through His Son, Jesus
Christ,
whom He sent as our
deliverer and redeemer.
Jesus slipped through
the broad portals of heaven and quietly down to our
earthly life.
Stable doors creaked as
they opened for the
Lord of glory in His
virgin mother's arms.
He allowed Himself to
become a beast of burden and carry a cross.
But people then, and
some even today,
did not see the even
heavier weight on His shoulders~ the burden of guilt
and evil of all people of all ages.
Outside the city, this
precious, sinless Lord
won the battle of all
battles
as He hung on the cross
for our sins!
We, God's redeemed
children, above all others, should go joyfully through
the church doors today.
There, the Lord allows
us to hear His glorious Gospel. His Spirit uses His
Word to open doors to our hearts. Through the power of
the Holy Spirit, He comes into more and more areas of
our thinking, feeling, and will.
His presence today, and
every day, gives us
a foretaste of our
eternal glory.
May the grace of God
open the doors to your hearts this morning as your
worship Him
in praise and song!
