Psalm 24:1-10
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. The Lord Almighty - he is the King of glory.
This psalm is a processional hymn, possibly written for that great occasion in David's life when the Ark was first carried into Jerusalem.
The whole world and everything in it is God's. Who then is worthy to stand in his presence? The answer would lead to despair if God were not ' the God of Jacob' - that mixed-up, twisted character God chose to become the founder of Israel.
The Ark is at the gates: open the doors for God himself to enter and own!
Why?
Clean hands and pure heart is an honest man. No give up to an idol and speak in truth is the requirement to be blessed from the Lord Almighty.
Lift up your heads, O you gates. Come focus on the Lord, lift up you head, my hope is in the Lord.
How?
My Lord is mighty God, everything in the world is belong to God. Be an honest Christian. Glory be to the Lord!
