IT'S THE KEY TO ENTER!

Not just anyone can waltz into the Oval Office of our president! In the Old Testament, we have record of Kings that would kill anyone who tried to come into their presence without being called – even the Queen. There is a protocol and special favor that must be granted to enter the King's palace and come to His throne. Do you know that there is a protocol for entering into the presence of the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords?

(Psalms 100:4-5) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

(Ps 118:19-20) Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. THIS IS THE GATE of the LORD through which the righteous may enter. 

God is indeed a good God! He wants to give you more good than you are ready to receive! The spirit of faith thanks God even when it looks like it is impossible and will not work out. You can be sure; this is what pleases God!

Hebrews 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.(NIV)

God is not moved by need but by faith! There is an action you must take that is based upon trusting him. I love this verse in Psalm 50:23,  "He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” Faith that will thank God even when it looks impossible is what gains God’s attention and moves his mighty hand! Would you like to enter the presence of the king? GIVE THANKS!
