We begin today with a great Psalm that talks about connecting with our Creator!
Psalm 24
A little background on the LORD word here 🙂
1) I AM – see Moses when he takes off his shoes – “I Am Who I Am” YHVH holy name
2) Note Elijah when God is passing by (1 Kings 19)
3) Observe Jesus when He explains who He is to the religious leaders (John 8)
4) See the Greek word “kurios” – Jesus is Lord and Master of the earth! (the disciple’s word)
“The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it.
For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn in deceit.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face — even Jacob. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah.”
So what does this Psalm tell me?!
1) What does the word Selah mean?
2) What is the impact for me that God is a warrior? (pros and cons)
Let’s talk:
John 6:52-71
Pretty cool.
Have a peaceful day and a productive week my friend!
