Psalm 24

God's advice for having integrity and a pure heart is augmented in the first 6 verses of Psalm 24 (refer to Psalm 15). We should channel our consciousness towards doing good for the purpose of pleasing God and not men. It is easy for us, especially in today's rat race, to sway towards achieving success through our own means and not practising what God has instructed us. I believe this psalm is again a reminder for us to search our hearts and seek God's guidance in our daily course of work.

The glory of the Jesus is manifested in verses 7 onwards, where the Lord is inviting us to open our hearts in accepting His blessings and salvation. Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts, and when we open the door to receive Him into our lives, He will bless us with His protection and eternal life.

Praise be to God, our King of glory.
