LET IT GLOW 

What is the Gate of Miphkadd? 
It was located on the east wall, close to the northeast corner. 
It's name means review, numbering, counting, registering, inspection. 

When a foreigner entered the city of Jerusalem, he was to enter this gate and register. He was required to have a visa, but not like ours today. 

Can you imagiwhat it would be like if all our visitors had to do such a thing before entering Washington DC?

Are we registered before we enter heaven? Is our name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?  It is if Jesus is our Savior. 

LET IT GROW 

This gate was a gate of review, also. When an army had been out fighting a battle, they returned passing through this gate. 
King David would review his soldiers returning from battle here. He showed his love for his troops by meeting and thanking them for a job well done. Those battle-scared men had shown their unselfish loyalty and love for their king. 

Don't we all look forward to hearing our King Jesus say "Well done good and faithful servant. Enter into thy rest. "

Regardless of our job in life, are we doing our best so we honor our King?


LET IT GO

Thank You Jesus for providing my way for eternal life. 
You are the gate through which we may enter heaven. 
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. I will bow before Him as a warrior of love.
