The King of Glory!

The Thanksgiving holiday is past -- only sweet memories remain of the love shared with family around the Thanksgiving table! 
Black Friday is behind us, also, as the mad rush for Christmas shopping, baking, etc. has begun.  But I wonder -- have we taken any time to stop and think about the King of Glory in the 24th Psalm? 

     "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  Who is this King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in.  Who is this King of glory?  The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory."

Christmas is all about the King of Glory who laid aside His splendor, and entered our world as a Baby in a lowly manger because He loved you and me.  "For God so loved the world that He gave--" Christmas is Jesus!  Christmas is the Wonderful story of Love!  Christmas is the light shining from the eyes of a little child as they recite their Christmas piece.  So as we begin this wonderful, blessed, and holy season, let us not forget that "Jesus is the reason for the season".

And -- may we often take time to visit the manger and --
         "Bow low before Him, love and adore Him --
                 His name is Wonderful -- Jesus, my Lord"!
