Psalms 24:7-10 NLT
Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter.

Who is the King of glory? 

The Lord, strong and mighty; 
the Lord, invincible in battle.

Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. 

Who is the King of glory? 

The Lord of Heaven's Armies - he is the King of glory. 

Interlude

Psalms 24:7-10 NLT
This second half of Psalm 24 almost feels like the chorus and there should be another part to this song!
David asks himself the question "who is the King of glory?"
I wonder if we ask ourselves that question today what is our answer?
Do we see God the same way David did (on the day he wrote this anyway?)
"Who is the King of glory?"

And then what are these ancient gates & doors that need to be opened to let the King of Glory, the Lord of Heaven's Armies in?
Surely if God has all that power He goes where He wants?
I wonder if David is looking inward and seeing places in his own heart that he has closed off to God, places where the God of all power waits to be let into, to be invited into?
Can you feel the redemptive heart of God waiting?

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
