Psalm 24:1-6 “A Psalm by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it. For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods. Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah.”

God is the creator, and He should be sought after, clung to, worshiped and praised. Just like Jacob did!

Genesis 32:24-28 “Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day. When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled. The man said, ‘Let me go, for the day breaks.’ Jacob said, ‘I won’t let you go unless you bless me.’ He said to him, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘Jacob’. He said, ‘Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.’”

The problem is, none of us deserve to ascend His hill and be with Him. None of us are clean, pure, trustworthy, and true. That’s why we need grace. Grace is getting what we don’t deserve. When we know Jesus we can come to God and worship Him!

Hebrews 10:19-23 “Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, and having a great priest over God’s house, let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.”
