THE KING OF GLORY ENTERS IN

THE KING OF GLORY ENTERS IN Around the Year with Emmet Fox December 10 Read Psalm 24 “He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and the righteousness from the God of his salvation.” “This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face….” To many it may seem that the purification of the heart will be a long and wearisome task, but we have to remember that when we pray it is God who works and not we. If you will use the power of the Word, old habits of thinking will fall away and new ones come in; and this is because you will receive your righteousness, or right thinking, from God. You have sought His face, and you must begin to express something of His nature, for we always grow unto that which we contemplate. “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; as the King of glory shall come in.” Gates and doors symbolize understanding and it is only by the attainment of a higher degree of understanding that the King of glory – the vivid realization of God which we are seeking – can come to our souls. We are then told to ask ourselves who the King of glory is, and for what He stands. He is nothing less than the Lord; strong and mighty in battle, and the battle he fights, of course, is our battle. "The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory."
