Psalm 24

BibleGateway.com Psalm 24

How often do you think that something is yours? The "Supreme Court" of the United States just ruled the government can take your property for the public good. The fact is the LORD can take "your" property for any reason he wishes, because "The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;" Do you know you belong to God. How must we sound like little children to him, squabling about what is mine and yours. When Jesus says give it all and follow me, it is no loss because it is all HIS. What do you have that you were not given by God. Hard to imagine in this country because of the "American dream" we think we can do anything. The fact is you can do nothing apart from Jesus. He give it all to you. Someday he will return and ask what you did with what he gave over to you. What will your response be?

Your answer will be dependant on your stance with God. Verse four gives some criteria. Verse five clues us completly in: "vindication from God his Savior." You can be saved only by God, you cannot climb his hill on your own, you cannot stand in his holy place. Seek the Lord, treasure His face.

Long for the gates to open and the King of Glory to come in. Lord I scream and ache for your presence on this earth. To make things right again. To end the ripping of my flesh between this world and my desire for you. I want to seek you with my whole heart to love you with my every molecule. The King of Glory is the LORD Almighty. The only true ruler and rightful King of my heart and yours. Make him king of your life and be free.
