Doors

This morning as I read Psalms 24 I was reminded of just how much power God has. He is the creator of everything and sometimes I get so caught up in my little pesky problems that I forget that He has my back. In the Psalms it starts out with how amazing God is and how He is the creator of all things, then it asks who is worthy to give Him that praise. Well none of us are, but then I remember that God has called me His own. When I gave my life to Him, He wrapped his love around me and called me His child. Comforting as this sounds this was the real kicker for me:
 ⁷ Open up, ancient gates!
      Open up, ancient doors,
      and let the King of glory enter.
 ⁸ Who is the King of glory?
      The Lord, strong and mighty;

      the Lord, invincible in battle.
 ⁹ Open up, ancient gates!
      Open up, ancient doors,
      and let the King of glory enter.

I know...it sounds weird. At first I thought he was talking about physical gates and doors. Then it hit me that maybe he is just talking about me. Maybe instead of talking about castles gates and ancient doors, David is really talking about walls I build, gates I seem to shut without realizing it. Sometimes I can't help but think that when I take time to listen to God, He has something to say to me. He knows of all the hurts in my life, disappointments, and struggles that make me close the doors and gates to my heart. The sad thing is that beyond those doors and gates lie the King of Glory and there I am with the door shut. He doesn't mention any walls,which is great! Doors and gates can easily be opened if you have the right key or if you just push a little! So today, rather than shutting myself in, I am airing the house out. The gates and doors are open and I am going to bask in this King of Glory!!!!
