He Alone!

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:9

Reading:

Psalm 8; 147:1-11

Is God’s name excellent — noble, glorious, majestic, great — to me?

How do I develop an interest in and a consciousness of the work of His fingers?

Do I have a song (in my heart, at least)?

Am I in the habit of going to God for healing for my hurts and wounds?

Is God lifting me up…or must He cast me down?

Does God take pleasure in me?

“The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground” (Psalm 147:6).

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 8:4 -- What is man, that thou art mindful of him?]
from Psalm 8:4

The King of Glory

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 24:10

Reading:

Psalm 24

“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?” (Psalm 24:3).

Yeah. Who shall?

Do I get to? May I?

(And why should I want to?)

“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully” (Psalm 24:4).

Oh.

I’m grateful again for Christ’s work for me and in me, giving me bold access to God.

If it weren’t for His work, I couldn’t. I and my good works aren’t good enough.
