Psalm 24

The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the LORD;
for he laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers.

This is a powerful Psalm of praise to Creator God.

A recognition of His power,

creativity,

holiness,

divine providence,

and righteousness.

It calls all of us, and all of heaven and earth, to worship Him.

Yet it also recognizes my unworthiness to stand and worship in His presence, because He is holy; I am not.

Still, on the return of the Ark of the Covenant, the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem, and at Christ’s wonderful ascension – all creation pauses to lift up heads, hands, hearts, and voices to recognize the Great King of Kings:

Jesus Christ.
