Psalm 24 Welcomes The King Of Glory In...

“Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.” Indeed, I have learnt more of psalm 24 from Pastor Eugene’s preaching during service.

So what can we learn from psalm24 then?
-In the beginning, psalm 24 shows that everything in the world, including us, belongs to God

-It reminds us that this is indeed a time to draw near to God by resting in His sufficiency. God knows everything yet He is concern with how we are going to draw near Him. He wants to see how interested we are in drawing close to Him.

-It reminds us that this is also a time to get right with Him by returning to His saving grace. Indeed God is our sufficiency, for nobody can really stand in His holy presence, only He can allow us to come to His presence by His conditions. Know that we are living in the era of grace and this grace comes from Jesus Christ. Therefore, in order for us to get right with God, God commands us to get right with one another. God will indeed judge on how we are treating one another.

-It is a time to stand up for God by recognizing His sovereignty. God wants to give us a mark, a sign that we are His people. The reason why we are celebrating the Sabbath is because we recognizing that He is the Lord God Almighty. Know that as we make every effort to enter the Sabbath, we will come to realize that His presence will indeed be with us.

I believe that by going about the way God wants you to, you will definitely have the presence of God with you. It is really about having the Sabbath spirit in acknowledging that God is ALL SUFFICIENT.

So let us welcome the King of glory. Who is this King of glory you may ask? The Lord almighty – He is the King of glory…
