Lord, Is It I

                                         Psalm 24:3
                  "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
                        or who shall stand in His holy place"?

        From the very beginning we all know it is uphill work for the creature to reach the Creator.  Who is this mighty climber who can scale the towering heights all the way to glory?  In heaven He reigns most gloriously, and who shall be permitted to enter into his Royal presence?  God has made all, but he will not save all; for there is a chosen company who shall have the honor of dwelling with Him.  These choice spirits desire to commune with God, and their wish will be granted.  But then the next question is yet to be answered.
       "Who shall be able to stand (or) continue there?  He casteth away the wicked; so who can abide in His house?  Who will be able to glaze upon the Holy One, and abide in the blaze of His glory?  Certainly it can't be done by communing with God by law, however grace can prepare us for the divine presence.  The question that is before us is one which all should ask for themselves, and we should never be at ease until we have received a answer of peace.  With careful self examination let us ask,  "Lord, is it I"
        So without vanity and deceit, the question is quickly answered.  There is only one almighty climber that could climb God's highest hill to glory; and that my friends was and is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Now what's that to the rest of us?  Christ is our-Head, and if the Head be once risen and ascended, the members will all follow after in their time.   Amen!!!
