"Lift up the gates so the King of glory can come in." (Psalm 24:7)
Gates. We live in a world of gates. Gates to keep people out. Gates to keep people in. Gates to enter the driveway, gates into and out of parking lots. Gates to keep animals in, gates to keep them away.
And then there are gates to our hearts. We allow people and God into some of the rooms of our heart - but usually not all of them. There are some thoughts we don't want anyone to know, there are hurts we don't expose to anyone.
There is a verse in Psalm 24 that says in essence, "lift up the gates, so the King of Glory can come in. The Lord strong and mighty. . .The Lord Almighty."
When you stop and think about it, we are foolish when we don't completely lift the gates of our heart to God. The Lord Almighty wants to invade our whole life so He can be our Savior, friend and protector. Have you ever opened the door of your life WIDE open to Jesus Christ?
