Lift Up Your Head

June 18, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty—he is the King of glory.

Psalm 24:9–10, NIV

Today’s Word

David said, “Lift up your head, and the King of glory will come in.” It’s easy to go through life always looking back, focusing on what didn’t work out, on who hurt you, and on the mistakes you’ve made. As long as you’re not looking up and you are discouraged, with no joy, no passion, and no zeal, the King of glory will not come. As long as you’re living in regret, you won’t move ahead to the bright future God has in store. 

You can’t change what’s happened to you in the past, but you can do something about right now. Whether it happened twenty minutes ago or twenty years ago, you need to let go of the negative baggage from the past. Instead, start looking up and saying, “Father, I’m excited about this day. I’m moving forward with my life.” When you’re really alive, hopeful, grateful, passionate, and productive, the King of glory, the Most High God, will come in and make a way where there is no way. As long as you have breath, keep your head up.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for being the amazing King of glory, the Lord Almighty, and the keeper of my dreams. Thank You that I can lift my eyes to You and know that You will come in. I declare that I’m letting go of the past and moving forward in faith, knowing that my best days are ahead. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”ARCHIVE
