Praise The King! (Psalm 24:7-10)
(Memorization Scripture 7-8)

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

Reflection:
Praise the Lord! Psalm 24 paints a beautiful and glorious picture of worship and praise! When the people of God seek Him, quiet themselves before His throne, fix their eyes on Him, worship Him, and wait upon Him, He reveals Himself in His great glory and victory. He powerfully calls out to His people:
"Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle."
Oh, how blessed are we to have such a glorious King enter into our midst, bringing with Him the joy of sharing in His triumph! How transformed and renewed our lives should be because of His presence!
Yes, every time we worship and praise Him, we must earnestly seek to know Him (Hosea 6:3), be cleansed by the precious blood of Christ, and live as His children with "clean hands and a pure heart," receiving His blessings. Let us also ask the Holy Spirit to open the gates of our hearts and lift up those "everlasting doors," for we know that "the King of glory shall come in!"
At this very moment, let us prepare ourselves and give all praise to the King! Praise the King!

2024 讚美月 Day 5：

向王讚美！（詩篇24:7-10）
(背誦7-8節)
1 地和其中所充滿的，世界和住在其間的，都屬耶和華。
2 祂把地建立在海上，安定在大水之上。
3 誰能登耶和華的山？誰能站在祂的聖所？
4 就是手潔心清，不向虛妄，起誓不懷詭詐的人。
5 他必蒙耶和華賜福，又蒙救他的 神使他成義。
6 這是尋求耶和華的族類，是尋求你面的雅各。（細拉）
7 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要被舉起！那榮耀的王將要進來！
8 榮耀的王是誰呢？就是有力有能的耶和華，在戰場上有能的耶和華。
9 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要把頭抬起！那榮耀的王將要進來！
10 榮耀的王是誰呢？萬軍之耶和華，他是榮耀的王。（細拉）

【心得分享】感謝主！詩篇24篇描述了一幅何等美好、榮耀的敬拜與讚美的畫面！當尋求耶和華的百姓安靜在祂座前，單單仰望祂、敬拜祂、等候祂的時候，祂就以極大的榮耀和得勝顯現在祂百姓面前，並且大聲激勵他們—「眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要被舉起！那榮耀的王將要進來！ 榮耀的王是誰呢？就是有力有能的耶和華，在戰場上有能的耶和華。」哦，有這樣一位榮耀的王進到我們中間，帶我們享受與祂同分擄物的喜樂，我們的生命該是何等的蒙福！該有怎樣的不同與改變！是的，每一次敬拜、讚美祂的時候，我們都當竭力追求認識祂（何6:3），接受基督寶血的潔淨，成為「手潔心清」、蒙祂賜福的兒女，也求聖靈打開我們的心門，把裡面「永久的門戶」舉起，因為知道「那榮耀的王將要進來！」是的，此時此刻，就讓我們預備好了，向王讚美！向王讚美！
