Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
-Psalm 24:7 NLT
Open up the doors. He's knocking. Who is knocking? Jesus, the King of glory! In Revelation 3:20 He says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
That verse tends to be used a lot in gospel presentations and it does have an evangelistic message but Jesus is knocking on the doors of the world. That includes believers, too. He knocking right now and wants to come in and have fellowship with you. I'm so thankful the God we serve doesn't keep us at a distance. We are indeed unworthy to approach Him on our own, but Jesus shed His blood so we can "draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22).
The song in the video looks at this concept of opening up the doors a bit differently, but take at look the lyrics.
"Open up the doors, Let the music play, Let the streets resound with singing."
Open up the doors, rejoice and let the King of glory in!
Father, thank You so much for sending Your Son to die in our place so we could be forgiven and draw near to You. Help us to open up the doors and let the King of glory come in so we will know Him more and become more like Him, for Your glory. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Daily Selah is a mini-devotional, a pause to ponder about the Lord and how He wants us to live.
