Nearly all God’s jewels are crystallized tears.

Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
Proverbs 20:15
Direct My Footsteps
Direct my footsteps according to your word;
let no sin rule over me. Redeem me from the
oppression of men, that I may obey your precepts.
Psalm 119:133,134
This is one of the Lord’s customary mercies to his chosen,
“He keepeth the feet of his saints.” By his grace he enables
us to put our feet step by step in the very place which his
word ordains. This prayer seeks a very choice favour, namely,
that every distinct act, every step, might be arranged and
governed by the will of God.
Charles H. Spurgeon from The Treasury of David Vol 3 P.379
Ancient Doors
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world,
and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and
established it upon the waters.
Who may ascend the hill of
the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean
hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an
idol or swear by what is false.
Psalm 24:1-4
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory
may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
Psalm 24:8-10
