PSALM 24
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and
those who live in it, for he has founded it on the seas
and established it on the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall
stand in his holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do
not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear
deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the LORD,
and vindication from the God of their salvation. Such
is the company of those who seek him, who seek the
face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient
doors! that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty,
the LORD, mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory
may come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the
King of glory.
EPHESIANS 1:3-14
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in
Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and
blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption
as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the
good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious
grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In
him we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of
his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and
insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure that he set forth in
Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all
things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having
been destined according to the purpose of him who
accomplishes all things according to his counsel and
will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on
Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you
also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked
with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the
pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s
own people, to the praise of his glory.
