Psalm 24 is set in a joyful celebration. Yet it also comes with an urgent message. Do you desire to come into the presence of the King? If so, there are some conditions required for that privilege. David says we must have clean hands a pure heart. Clean hands refers to conduct. A pure heart speaks of motives or attitudes. In other words, we must have hands and heart that are obedient to the Lord. It’s a call for self-examination to see if our conduct and attitudes are right with God. What’s in the heart will come out in what we do and say. David gives us a challenge to clean up our act if we would come into the presence of the Almighty King – God Himself.
