Pin It Now! Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty — he is the King of glory. Psalm 24:7-10

There appears to be 2 main points in Psalm 24:7 -10 

1. Lift up your heads, O you gates/doors 

2. Who is this King of glory? He is the Lord Almighty 

This passage is one of exuberance, excitement and great commotion. It is not just the normal mundane boring stuff of life. The passage gives the impression that there is something going on. Not just normal boring day -to -day stuff. 

But something HUGE is going on. Something exciting is happening! Something is happening that should attract our attention! Something is happening that should make us all “lift up our heads”! So what is happening? The answer is simple. We are preparing for the “King of glory” to come in! God almighty is coming in! 

Many times the presence of God is undervalued. Did you know that God Almighty comes every time we meet for life group? Did you know that God Almighty shows up for every church service? Did you know that God Almighty is amongst us when simply 2 or 3 believers gather in His name? 

Yet many times it seems that we are just attending church/life group as if I am attending “just another gathering”. And perhaps we think a little too much about who will be attending the meeting?, who will be sharing at the meeting? Or who will be leading worship? Does the meeting fit my schedule? 

Well the truth is this. It’s not just another meeting. It’s not just another service. Its not just another quiet time. It’s a big deal! Because somebody is coming - The KING OF GLORY, THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY. He is going to be there. So “lift up your heads, that the King of Glory may come in” . 

As we pray today, lets remember. We have Almighty God in our midst!
