As I drove into work today I was thinking about my heart. I was thinking about it's condition lately. I was thinking about being tired and tired of being tired. I was thinking about Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Putting up the tree(s) and decorating the house and the yard. I was thinking about work today and how I can't wait for 5:00 tomorrow. I was thinking about how this is the first holiday that Kristina wants to share with her boyfriend and how weird that is for me. I was thinking of how to make it all work. I was thinking about what ingredients I need for the sweet potato casserole I need to make and how Kristina wants to cook a dish this year too. I was thinking about giving Gabe the task of rummaging through our building outside to find an extension cord that I couldn't find last night using only the light of a flash light. I was thinking...
As I sat down at my desk and began to think about what I was going to type on my blog today I just randomly clicked on Psalm 100 and then stopped before I could even read it as my eyes wandered up to the calendar that is posted directly in front of me. November 24th...24....24.... so I closed Psalm 100 and opened Psalm 24 and boy did I need Psalm 24. Just when I'm thinking and thinking and thinking my sweet Lord brings me back to where I need to be....
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths.
Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
who do not worship idols
and never tell lies.
They will receive the Lord’s blessing
and have a right relationship with God their savior.
Such people may seek you
and worship in your presence,
O God of Jacob.
Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty;
the Lord, invincible in battle.
Open up, ancient gates!
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies —
he is the King of glory.
Psalm 24 (NLT)
