Psalm 24 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 24.

Meditate on verse 8.

Who is the King of glory?

The LORD strong and mighty,

the LORD mighty in battle.

“The King of glory” is a repeated phrase in Psalm 24.  When God repeats Himself in His Word, He wants to you to pay attention and observe what He is saying.  What does God want you to notice in this Psalm?

The LORD is the strong and mighty King of glory who invites you into His presence. There are qualifications to come before the King (Psalm 24:3-4):

1.     Clean hands

2.     A pure heart

3.     A soul not lifted up to falsehood

4.     One who does not swear deceitfully

The rewards for being with the King of glory are blessing and righteousness from the God of your salvation (Psalm 24:5).

Examine your heart and life.  Are you worthy to be in the presence of the King of glory?  The God of your salvation, Jesus Christ, cleanses you from all sin when you confess your sins and make Him your LORD (1 John 1:6-9; Romans 10:9-10).

Pray Psalm 24:3-6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, ________ and I want to ascend into Your hill

and stand in Your holy place.

Give us clean hands and pure hearts. 

Do not let us lift up our souls to falsehood!

Do not let us swear deceitfully.

We want to receive Your blessing, LORD,

 and the righteousness that comes from You, God of our salvation. 

Make us the generation who seeks You, who seeks Your face.

Let even Jacob (Israel) seek Your face.

In Your name, Jesus~”
