The theme for Dr. David Jeremiah daily devotional for today August 15 2023 is ”Through Gates of Splendor” and it is a message highly recommended for today’s spiritual growth and upliftment.
SCRIPTURE: Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.-Psalm 100:4
Fifianna Su, 9, lives with her family in a one-hundred-square-foot room in San Francisco, but last Easter she and her mom were invited to the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. The invitation came from the Chinatown Community Development Center, which received three tickets to the event. Nonprofit organizations and donors paid their way, and the mother and daughter arrived at the White House on a bright, sunny day, along with approximately thirty thousand others. Afterward, Fifianna’s mother told The Washington Post, “She knows that her dream, her future…is more than just the space we’re living in right now.”1
Sometimes our world can seem very small and our pressures very large. But by grace, we have constant access through the gates of the Lord and into the courtyard of the King of kings. We can always come with thanksgiving and praise. Our Lord is the One who can satisfy the desires of our heart. Lean on Him. Because of His resurrection, He can give you levels of personal satisfaction the world can never afford.
Right now you can enter His gates with joy and His courts with praise!
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
