Psalm 24:1-6
Today we are reading Psalm 24.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 24:1-6 - The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers. 3 Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? 4 One who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to deceit And has not sworn deceitfully. 5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah
