Psalm 96:3
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
Devotional Thoughts
By David Wilkerson
"Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors" (Proverbs 8:34). Christ is telling us, "This is the person I'll live and abide in -- someone who hangs on my every word. Every morning, my beloved one waits at my gate, just to get a word from me. He anxiously awaits my voice. And he delights in everything I say to him."
The psalmist David waited daily to receive word from God and he delighted in the word he received. He testified, “I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word” (Psalm 119:16).
Such a believer is determined to walk upright before the Lord. He gets excited at every revelation that points him on the path to a holy walk. He tells himself, “I want truth in my inner man. I know I won’t get it just by listening to sermon tapes or reading books. I have to wait patiently on the Lord so that He will open His gates to me.”
Faithfully, God’s Holy Spirit comes out to meet this believer every morning. And He invites him inside, whispering, “Welcome, friend. Let Me show you something new today about God’s righteousness.”
