The holidays can be difficult for those who have suffered loss, because they are a constant reminder that there is an empty seat at the table, and the person we loved - a family member or a friend - is no longer with us. However, there is great promise in the word of God that tells us that the King of Glory is coming. We confess a creator-King, and we prepare to approach Him in worship, and we welcome Him in our midst. This week we look at a hymn called "Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates" which is based upon the 24th Psalm. We also look at the Hebrew word "Selah" and what it means to pause, reflect upon God's word, and let it sink deep into our lives. In the busyness of the holidays, it is important to take time to consider all of God's gifts for us.
Psalm 24:1-10
