“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” Psalm 24:7
While I believe this refers to the Ark of the Covenant being placed into the the Holy of Holies to represent GOD’s presence at the Temple, I also believe it can be used concerning our lives in the present day.
Gates are used to keep others from coming in. There are many gates in our lives, some good and some not so good. Most often we close the gate to keep the harmful away, this is good. At other times we use the gate to stop or resist what can be of great benefit because we have a rebellious heart. We just don’t want to hear it!
Daily people keep the gate closed and resist CHRIST and the everlasting salvation He has freely given to all that will call upon Him. As mind boggling as it is, some who have tasted the wonderful blessings of GOD close the gate He wants them to walk through.
“Lift up your heads, O you gates”
The ALMIGHTY has arrived.
The gates been lifted from its place,
The Door is opened wide!
“The King of glory shall come in”
Forever He’ll make His abode.
Perfect peace forever more,
Such grandeur He has bestowed!
Open wide the gate to GOD
His way is always true.
Do not resist His gracious love
He wants the best for you!
