5:37 AM
Psalm 24
Praise to the King of Glory! You, Lord, made the world and everything, absolutely everything, belongs to You v1,2. It was magnificent and glorious when You created it all; we tarnished it by our sinfulness. That's why You intend to make a New Earth and restore all things. I can only glorify You and praise You for the plans You have in store.
I must confess, I do not have clean hands or a pure heart v3,4. I wish I did. On my own merit I have nothing to bring to You. I come to You on the basis of Jesus' clean hands, pierced as they are (because of me), and His pure heart. Because of Him and through Him I come before Your throne and approach Your holy hill. That's the only reason I even have the capacity to seek Your face v6, to enter Your presence.
Yes, You are the King of Glory v7,10. You have been strong and mighty on my behalf many times. How do I know this? With all the destruction, sorry, pain, and even death that is a part of this life's experience, how do I know that You are the King of Glory, strong and mighty? Because You died to redeem me from all of this; and once it's all over there will be a new life, just like the resurrection of my Lord. First, the cross. Then, the life!
Be glorified somehow through me today. I am second.
