Who is this King of glory?


Psalm 24:8.

The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory - On the meaning of the phrase, "the Lord of hosts," see the notes at Isaiah 1:9. The essential idea is, that God rules over the universe of worlds considered as marshalled in order, or arrayed as hosts or armies are for battle. All are under His command. The stars in the sky, that seem to be marshalled and led forth in such perfect and beautiful order - the inhabitants of heaven in their different orders and ranks - all these acknowledge Him, and submit to Him as the supreme God. In the close of the psalm, therefore, there is an exact accordance with the thought in the beginning, that God is the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, and that He should everywhere be recognized and regarded as such. The entrance of the ark of the covenant into the place provided for it as a permanent residence was a fit occasion to proclaim this thought; and this is proclaimed in the psalm in a manner befitting so solemn an occasion and so sublime a truth.

the annual werrrrrren o' the grrrreen

the much anticipated Paddy's day is here. Not that we are Irish, it's just a good tradition to cook up some yummy corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, onions and some carrots. Then we pull out the VCR, watch Darby O'Gill and have a Guinness. The wee people get to wear their pointy ears and imagine stories of Leprechaun's gold. There may even be a couple of snake stories. One thing is certain, that there are enough good memories and speculations to go around and definitely an opportunity for cultural awareness.
