The King of Glory

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 24:10

Reading:

Psalm 24

“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?” (Psalm 24:3).

Yeah. Who shall?

Do I get to? May I?

(And why should I want to?)

“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully” (Psalm 24:4).

Oh.

I’m grateful again for Christ’s work for me and in me, giving me bold access to God.

If it weren’t for His work, I couldn’t. I and my good works aren’t good enough.

Hear Him

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Matthew 17:5

Reading:

Matthew 17:1-13

I like life’s highs (even though sometimes I find myself dreading the lows that I know are sure to come).

“Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here…” (Matthew 17:4).

Apparently good ole Peter wanted to prolong the experience.

I would have also, I’m sure.

But we have to come down.

Jesus went with them.

I’m glad He goes with me as well.
