Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?

The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein
For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters
Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart
Who has not lifted his soul to an idol
Nor sworn deceitfully
He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation
This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek your face
Lift up your heads O you gates! And be lifted up,
you everlasting doors
And the King of Glory shall come in
Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle
Psalm 24:1-8


He is the King of Glory

Lift up your heads O you gates! Lift up you everlasting doors!
And the king of glory shall come in
Who is this king of glory, the Lord of hosts,
He is the king of glory
Psalm 24: 9-10


They stumbled and fell.


The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear,
The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid
When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident

Psalm 27: 1-3

To behold the beauty of the Lord
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
that will I seek;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple
Psalm 27 : 4


He shall set me high upon a rock

For in the time of trouble,
He shall hide me, He shall set me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle;
I will sing, yes I will sing praises to the Lord.
Psalm 27: 5-7


Teach me your way O Lord

When my father and my mother forsake me,
then the Lord will take care of me,
Teach me your way O Lord,
and lead me in the smooth path, because of my enemies.
Psalm 27:10-11

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
