Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

In the Old Testament, you'll find that the Israelites were often engaged in battle - most of the time for land or for freedom from oppressors. They gave credit to the Lord for their victories, for delivering them from the hand of their enemies. In Psalm 24, the priests inside the temple would ask, "Who is this King of glory? The people outside would respond, "The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle." Then the gates to the temple would be opened and the people would enter to worship and offer their thanksgiving to God.

Today, you can give credit to the Lord for your victories. The battles may be large (your triumph over an unhealthy or self-destructive habit) or small (you didn't lose your temper during the traffic jam). He is the one who delivers you in every situation. He provides patience or self-control when you need it the most. He hears and answers every time you call. He is the King, He is the Lord. Praise His name, the name of Jesus, the strong and mighty ruler of the kingdoms of this world - and of the kingdom of your heart.
