Prepared for the King
Throughout the Psalms there is an interplay between David, king of Israel, and, in a prophetic sense, Christ—the King from whom David received his own throne. In Psalm 24 the rich imagery is of a great king approaching his city. As he and his colorful entourage approach the city gates, their presence is so commanding that the gates—the city leaders gathered in counsel—are exhorted to attend to their entry. The city and its inhabitants are to make the royal party welcome.
David proposes a royal welcome for the King of heaven. Are the gates to our hearts prepared to give such honor to the entry and enthronement of Christ, our King? Let every ear hear it! Let every heart-gate open freely for His entry.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
