Let the King of glory in

Lift up your heads O ye gates and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in Psalm 24 verse 7

Psalm 24:7 says, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.”

I encourage you to start your day by opening the gates, looking up and letting the King of Glory come into your day!

So what gate is keeping this King of Glory out? Is it the gate of busyness, grumbling, disability or depression, or could it be the gate of unbelief, pride or sin?

How do we let the King of glory in? Step one in Psalm 24 says to lift up your head! Turn your eyes on Jesus and not your problems. Don't tell God you have a big problem. Tell your problem you have a big God! David didn't tell God he had a big giant to face. Not at all! Instead, he told the giant how big and how great his God was.
"Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed." —Hebrews 12:12-13
When we lift up our heads and look to Jesus instead of at our circumstances, God will lift our hearts. He will lift that heavy gate of depression or whatever else is dragging you down. Jesus will step inside in all his glory, in all his majesty, and He will take control of that situation you find yourself in.

Open the gates, look up and let the King of Glory come into your day!

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

No matter what happens or whatever we face ahead of us God the Almighty is with us always

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.

Words: Joseph M. Scriven
Music: Charles Crozat Converse
