Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord’s And all it contains. The world is the Lord’s And all who remain. For He founded it Upon all the seas. And established it With authority. Who ascends the hill Of the Lord with grace? Who may stand with Him In His holy place? He who has clean hands And has a pure heart. Who flees from idols And from lies depart. He receives blessings From the Lord above. Vindication too From God, who he loves. Each generation That seeks the Savior Will receive blessings And endless favor. So lift up your heads, O you gates and doors. The King of glory Comes and restores. Who is this strong King, This King of glory? The Lord Almighty Worthy, His story.
Girl’s trip on beautiful Captiva Island, Florida
We are soaking in the sun that God so beautifully made; watching the ocean and its waves that God founded the earth upon. God started His creation with the seas. You can’t go to the beach and experience the seemingly endless sea and the beautiful sunsets and not be moved.
This ancient Hebrew song was written to describe David’s triumphant return of the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem. He was concerned about being worthy of what God had entrusted to him. We too should be concerned about our approach to God and taking care of what He has entrusted to us. How should we approach God, the King of Glory? We should be filled with awe; have a pure heart, and never forget the awesome power of Almighty God. His story is worthy of our praise.
