Psalm
45;15 Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.
Have you
ever been in a king’s palace? I have not.
And I suspect I wouldn’t be that impressed. No human deserves to be called King, in my
book. And when I see all of the hoopla
over Prince William and his wife Kate, I actually feel sorry for people like
that who are in the spotlight and every outfit they wear or every hand movement
they make is scrutinized and criticized…or copied and adored.
However,
imagine with me being led into the place of our King – Jesus. He’s the one who was born in a manger, of
lowly stature. The one who came and
became one of us, lived as we do, suffered more than we do, and conquered
death.
He is now
exalted over all the earth as King of Kings – my King.
This verse
says “led in with joy and gladness…they enter…”
We don’t
have to enter the palace in fear that we aren’t dressed appropriately, worried
that he won’t have time to touch our hands, or afraid that we aren’t worthy to
receive a nod from his head.
We can
enter joyfully and gladly, because our King is our Savior – our personal Lord –
our God and friend.
He invites
you into his presence to sit by him on his throne. Go on in.
The door is open. Just skip right
in and sit on his knee, unashamed and unafraid in his palace of mercy and
grace.
