🎵Who is this King of Glory? 🎵

Exodus 8-9, Matthew 19:13-30, Psalm 24, Proverbs 6:1-5

Who is this King of Glory? 

A nonstop mash up of Christian songs have been looping through my head all day. "Give us clean hands...Oh God let us be, a generation that seeks, seeks your face oh God of Jacob."  

Then you throw in Third Day's "King of Glory" and it's a great medley.... "

"Who is this King of glory with strength and majesty

And wisdom beyond measure, the gracious King of kings

The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things

Who is this King of glory, He's everything to me"

We see a giant picture of the Great and Mighty God in today's reading. He is The All-Powerful God who sends impossible plagues to Egypt. Who tells Pharaoh, the most powerful man on Earth,  "For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

Exodus 9:15-16 NIV

He is the King of Glory. 

David wrote Psalm 24. David was a man who served a powerful king. He was a man who became an even more powerful king and yet he asked "Who is the King of Glory?" He knew the answer was not found on Earth, but by the Maker and Creator of Earth. "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters."

Psalm 24:1-2 NIV. 

So...

"Who is he, this King of glory? l Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory."

Psalm 24:10 NIV. 

He is the King. I am not.  I am so little compared to His greatness, and yet He still loves and wants me. The same King who created all I see. The same King who did the impossible in Egypt. The same King who sits (as Jesus said in Matthew 19, "His glorious throne."  

Amen.
