What if the President of the United States wanted to come to your house for a visit? Additionally, what if he wanted to do a live broadcast of your conversation with him from your living room? How would you prepare for such an amazing experience? Would you deep clean every part of your house? Perhaps you would even do some painting and remodeling. Would you go buy new clothes and have a beauty makeover? Would you have a fancy meal prepared by yourself or a caterer? Just what would you do to prepare for a visit by the President or some other distinguished guests?
Psalm 24:7-8 says, “Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle!” The Lord wants to come to you. He is not just some national leader, entertainment celebrity, or business owner. He is the Creator of all things and Almighty God. But He is not asking you to do anything to prepare for His coming, except open up. Open your heart to receive His love and mercy. Open your soul to receive eternal life and His glory. Open your spirit to receive His forgiveness. Open up and He will come in.
