(KJV) Ps 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,
and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD?
or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,
nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him,
that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
Sometimes I just have to go to the King James translation. “The earth is the lord’s and the fullness thereof” is the way I learned it. So when I read the NIV which says “The earth is the lord’s and everything in it” I know it means the same thing, but those are not the words stored up in my heart.
I pray today that we can stand before the Lord, pure of thought and deed, so that we can seek Him with our whole hearts.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
