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.

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 24:1 -- The earth is the LORD's...and they that dwell therein]
from Psalm 24:1

He knows my way -- I delight in His.

Give Me That Delight!

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1:2

Reading:

Psalm 1; Proverbs 1:1-8; James 1:1-8

I’m supposed to speak to a multi-school teachers’ meeting on Friday. My assigned topic is “Teaching Critical Thinking.”

It occurred to me this morning that I should read chapter one in preparation. Chapter one? Yeah, as in Psalm 1, Proverbs 1, and James 1. (I love those three books!!)

I’m glad I read those twenty-two verses. I challenge you to read them as well, especially if your leaves are feeling withered (like mine are).

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper”
(Psalm 1:3).

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous (Psalm 1:6)
