Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. – Psalm 24:10
Lord God, Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, how can we not elevate your Mighty Name on high, when you bless us with the profuse gift of a new day, and a fresh opportunity to glorify you in praise, to refresh and replenish our souls with your grace by deepening in faith, by making reparation for our grievances towards you and amends for our grudges towards our fellow-men. Jesus’ ascension after his resurrection, has merited our salvation, and he has successfully opened the doors of heaven and helped us discern the true purpose on earth.
Your faithfulness dear God, and the splendor of your effulgent Being is invigorating and awe-inspiring. We revel in our God of goodness, kindness and righteousness, which compels us to seek a closer communion with you and augments our connection to you. We lift our hands, palms raised outward in reverential worship of a Living God, who reciprocates our love in ways we are undeserving of.
Your New Covenant with us and all the Promises thereof, are contained in your Word, Lord, which makes us meritorious of the rewards if we practice it with chaste intent and attain what it promises. Your Holy Word is a source of strength, support and solace to us, at times when darkness surrounds us and attempts to mitigate our faith and beliefs. It is then that the force of your love rescues us and we behold the Light of your Countenance and walk in the joy of the Lord, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, through our Savior Jesus, with him and in him. Amen
