Who Is the King of Glory?

“Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.” - Psalm 24:8.

Who is the King of glory? This question is not just historical — it is being asked to you today. Who is ruling your heart right now? Someone is always sitting on the throne: it might be fear, anxiety, pride, guilt, addiction, or the need for approval… or it might be the Lord strong and mighty. If Jesus is not King of everything in your life, then He is not King at all.

This verse reveals a God who fights. He is not just an idea or a feeling — He is mighty in battle. And battle means war. Maybe your war today is internal, silent, emotional… something nobody sees. But the King of glory doesn’t stand far away — He steps into the battlefield, fights for you, and calls you to stand with Him. What have you been trying to win alone that could already be in His hands?

The gates of the city were only opened when someone decided to open them. God doesn’t force His way in — He knocks. But you must choose. Closed doors keep the King out… and keep other “kings” inside. Doors of faith, forgiveness, trust… maybe some have been closed for a long time. But today God asks: will you open them? Will you keep fighting alone, or will you let the King in?

When Jesus takes the throne, everything changes. He brings peace where there was chaos, hope where there was discouragement, direction where there was confusion. He doesn’t want to visit — He wants to reign. And when He reigns, He transforms. That’s why many people avoid surrender — because surrender means letting go of control. But do you know what hurts more than surrendering? Living trapped inside yourself when freedom is waiting in God’s presence.

Now the question turns to you: who is the King of your glory? Who has been guiding your choices, your thoughts, your future? Maybe you know about God, but you haven’t let Him reign. The King of glory is at the door. And He doesn’t want just a part of your life. He wants it all.
