Scripture: So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.--2 Samuel 6:15
Can you hear the music?
The trumpets, the strings, the drums ring harmoniously as Israel sings,
"The earth is the Lord's and
all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for he has founded it
on the seas, and established it on the rivers. 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 be lifted 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--Psalm 24:1-2, 7-10"
Can you hear these lyrics as gates of the
city of David are being propelled upward?
The ark of the Lord has finally arrived.
David is the king of Israel; however, Yahweh is the King of kings! Everything that exists in the world belongs
to God, he created everything including the seas, he is also the king of
glory! Can you hear the music, can you
hear the chorus, "Who is the King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the king of
glory!" The entire nation of Israel
is singing, dancing and rejoicing before the Lord with David at the helm. The Divine presence is now in their midst and
the blessed presence is saturating them like a down pour of rain at the dusk of
a hot summer's day. The people are
refreshed, Yahweh's arrival consummates their new beginning as a people and his
partnership with their appointed leader.
Invitation:
As you take a step closer to full surrender today, begin to rejoice. The prayer is that as we draw closer that
God's wonderful consuming presence will begin to inhabit all that we are and
all that we do. Tell those secret doors
within your consciousness that have been closed to open, so that the King of
Glory might enter. It is safe to invite
God into every area of our lives. He is the
one who made us and his desire is for us to prosper!
Prayer: King of Glory, we worship you. We praise you this day. We honor you.
We welcome you into every aspect of our being. May our lives serve as tributes to your love
and your faithfulness. Thank you for new
beginnings and new mercies. Amen.
The Reverend Tiffney Marley
