I really like the middle of Psalm 43 and how the last couple verses are the same as the Psalm before it. “Oh, send out your light and your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to your holy hill And to your tabernacle. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; and on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.”
This speaks of the Trinity. The Father, God, sends out His light and His Truth. God is Light and in Him, is no darkness at all. He sends out His Truth, which is the Word and Jesus, the Son of God, is that Word. His Truth is also the Holy Spirit, who is known as the Spirit of Truth. It is the Spirit who leads us into all truth. I will go to the altar of God; i.e., right into His Presence and come boldly before the Throne of Grace. We have exceeding Joy in the Fullness of His Presence. This is where I belong; experiencing His Presence in the Fullest Measure. It is in His Presence where His Praises are Perfected.
“Who can stand on His Holy Hill? He who has clean hands and a pure Heart.”
“Blessed are the Pure in Heart, for they will see God.” There are definitely parallels here. We must be Pure in Heart, if we have the Desire to see Him.
When we are before the altar of God, we can praise Him in the Fullness of His Presence and His Presence is Beautiful!! What a Wonderful Gift!!
