Welcoming the King of Glory…
Some scenes—winding pathways, empty benches, and mysterious old doors—are like magnets to my imagination. It came as no surprise to Ron when I asked him to be sure and get a photo of this old door located in the amazing garden of his cousin Tom’s wife, Millie.
As I enjoyed this image, remembering the beauty, as well as the practicality of Millie’s garden, I thought about the psalmist David’s encouragement to consider the ancient doors and allow the King of glory to come in.
David, himself a king with an unabashed love for God and a flare for the dramatic, then asks the rhetorical question, “Who is the King of glory?” (drum-roll, please!)
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.
Does it feel like you are right smack dab in the middle of a battle?
A battle of fear?
A battle of loneliness?
A battle of uncertainty?
A battle of sorrow?
A battle of helplessness?
A battle of exasperation?
Perhaps a good strategy for winning our battles begins with opening that ‘ancient door’ and welcoming the King of glory—strong and mighty—to come in and help us fight.
