PS 24 7

Psalm 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Lift up your heads. Don’t get caught sleeping. You need to see He is coming.

Gates, we are now called gates? What does that mean? What has been said about gates is mostly a natural correlation about the weakest point of a fortress. It is easier to come in thru the gate than storm the walls. We build walls to protect ourselves yet we are still the weakest point.

The gate is also the focal point of two worlds. It is a point of demarcation, leaving one domain and entering another. Yet the gate does not move but opens or closes as it chooses what to allow in and what to keep out.

Then we are called the everlasting door. We don’t often think of ourselves as eternal beings but we are. Life will go on and where is determined by the King of Glory.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Heads up, the King is coming and knocking at the door to your heart. It isn’t like you sent out an invitation and He is coming with card in hand. He is coming bearing gifts of His choosing and what those might be you will never discover if you leave the door shut.

Oh, by the way, when you let Him in He is going to take over your life. You should know that.

The one thing I did not address was “be ye lifted up”. This implies you understand your position in life and that His coming is going to elevate your life to a place worthy of His presence.

PS 24 6

Psalm 24:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Any time you see Selah there is something significant that has been said and you need to meditate on it. Selah is a musical instruction meaning significant pause. The psalms are musical.

The root source of generations is genetics. Jacob is the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Are you of the seed of Abraham? No, I do not ask if you are Jewish.

Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

If you have been born again, born of the spirit, you are the seed of Abraham by faith. That seed is planted in your heart and will grow and mature to be that son of God you are meant to become. This seeking of His face is impossible to achieve without Christ in you.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This being true, that Selah moment becomes all important. A proper understanding of what it means to be of this generation is required. We are the seed of Abraham, we are not the seed of David. David was of the genetic line upon which the promise was made and fulfilled in Mary, the mother of Jesus. We are the seed of Abraham because of faith.

Romans 4:13, 16 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

Selah
