“Lift up your heads, O everlasting gates, that the King of Glory may come in” (Psalm 24:9).
You need to understand that your soul is, by nature, a sacred center—a dwelling prepared by God, a potential kingdom where the very King desires to dwell. But for the Sovereign to truly occupy this throne, it is essential that you care for this space with zeal. Your soul needs to be cleansed of unconfessed guilt, at peace in the face of fears, and steadfast during temptations and tribulations. This inner cleansing, this constant peace, does not come from the world nor from human effort—it comes from something much higher and more powerful.
And how can we attain this peace in such a troubled world, where the enemy rules so many hearts? The answer is simpler than many think, though it demands faithfulness: it is enough to decide to obey the powerful Law of God. In it lies the secret of spiritual stability. There is a real and active power in the commandments of the Lord—a power that transforms, strengthens, and protects. But this power is only known by those who truly submit to the will of God with sincerity and perseverance.
It is in obedience that we find all the good things the Creator has reserved for His creatures: peace, direction, comfort, security, and, above all, communion with Him. Unfortunately, many, deceived by the illusions of the enemy, reject this path and miss out on the wonderful blessings that are associated with obedience. But you can choose differently. You can decide today to make your soul a place worthy of the King’s presence, simply by obeying His Law—firm, eternal, and full of life. -Adapted from Miguel Molinos. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You because You reveal to me that my soul is a sacred place, created to be Your dwelling. But for this to happen, I need to care for this space with zeal—cleansing guilt, facing fears with faith, and remaining steadfast in temptations. Thank You because You do not leave me alone in this task, but offer a clear and powerful path for my soul to become worthy of Your presence.
My Father, today I ask You to plant in me a faithful and constant spirit, one that desires to obey Your powerful Law with all my heart. Teach me to seek that true peace which is only found in obedience, and help me to reject the illusions of this world that try to divert my focus from You. May my soul be strengthened by Your commandments, purified by Your will, and sustained by Your presence. Give me courage to walk firmly on this path, even when it is difficult, and transform my inner being into a throne worthy of the King of kings.
Oh Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You created my soul with purpose and revealed to me the secret of true communion with You. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a river of life that washes, purifies, and fills my heart with peace and direction. Your commandments are like walls of light, guarding my soul and making it firm, secure, and full of Your presence. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
