Psalm 24
I think one reason, maybe the main reason, that people refuse to acknowledge God as the creator of the universe is because they don’t want to be held accountable to Him, or anything else for that matter. The Big Bang Theory and other alternative creation theories provide convenient but dangerously deceptive ways of explaining how our world came to be without holding us accountable to its Creator.
The Bible, however, clearly and repeatedly declares the Lord God to be the Architect and Builder of the heavens and the earth. The whole earth belongs to the One who made it, who sustains it, who reveals His glory through it and who holds all men responsible for their actions.
The Israelites in singing this psalm not only recognize the Lord their God as the Creator, but they welcome His reign over them. They rejoice in the Lord Almighty as their King of glory, and are glad to make way for His rightful entry into their gates. They also realize they must come with clean hands and pure hearts, undivided in their devotion to Him.
Are you welcoming the reign of the King of glory over your life? Will you be among those who ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place? Let the sacrifice of Jesus be your cleansed and purified life as you bow in joyful worship in His presence. He’s your only hope for salvation.
